Home›Canada›NationalityBrowse ByNationalityThis dimension groups astronauts by nationality. Wikipedia defines nationality as "the legal status of belonging to a particular nation," and Wikipedia notes that "astronaut" technically applies to all human space travelers regardless of nationality, even though Russian flyers are usually called cosmonauts instead.
