Shannon, what years did you apply to the Astronaut Candidate program? How many times did you get interviewed? Is it socially bad, good, or doesn't matter if a person gets hired on the first time they apply?

Shannon, what did you write about in your essay when you were interviewed by the Selection Board, details?

The ISS loses funding in 2024. NASA is leaving it behind. What will happen to the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing's Starliner? Will astronaut training for trips to the ISS stop in 2024? Will this mean that many astronauts will leave NASA in 2024. How will NASA make use of all their astronauts after 2024?

Can you give me an exact event or date for when NASA will know exactly how many astronauts will be hired in 2017?

About how many people are on the Selection Board this time around? During the on site interviews, do all the interviewers talk to the interviewees? What is the room like where the interview takes place, shape and size? What is the shape of the table where the interviewee sits? What building is the actual face to face interview held?
