Nationality

This 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. Browsing this way collects every astronaut from a single country.
