This is a real shot in the dark, but does anyone know which college has graduated the most astronauts? I've always been fascinated by space exploration and while I know it's a long shot, I'd love to know where our space travelers went to college!
The US Naval Academy and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are two institutions that commonly come up when discussing this topic. The US Naval Academy has a prestigious space program and has seen many of its graduates go on to become astronauts.
