Computer Science is listed as one of the applicable STEM fields, but I don't see any astronauts with a CS background. (Reed Wiseman has a BS in Computer and Systems Engineering.) Does that mean that a CS background is not as highly regarded as others? Or is it merely a statistical anomaly (easily explained by the small sample size)?
Relatedly, is there non-degree academic work in addition to the minimum BS that NASA considers positive? For example, completion of online aerodynamics courses.
