Between mid-December and mid-February, a record-breaking 18,300 applicants applied for eight to 14 spots in NASA's astronaut candidate program this year. NASA received almost three times the number of applicants the space agency received during its last round of hiring in 2012, shattering the previous record of 8,000 applicants in 1978.\n
