Subject: Application for Astronaut Candidate Program.

Thank you for your recent application to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s
Astronaut candidate programme. We regret to inform you that we are not able to accept you into
our programme due to you being colour-blind.

This year, we received over 20,000 applications for these roles, and we thank you for the
opportunity to look over your application. Regrettably, we were only able to select a small number
of those with the potential to contribute to the nation’s space program.

The news release for this year’s Astronaut Candidates can be viewed on our website at
www.astronauts.nasa.gov.

We appreciate the opportunity to consider you for the Astronaut Candidate Program and wish you
success in your future endeavours.

Sincerely,

Dr, Joss Rogers

Manager, Astronaut Selection Office
