The Hottest Male Astronauts in NASA History

Can you believe that humans have been to space?! It's really pretty amazing when you stop for a second and consider it. Both men and women have been to space, but on this list of hot astronauts, you'll only find space traveling male hotties who worked for NASA. These sexy astronauts are the dudes who maybe went to the moon, or were just on SkyLab, or even just on the International Space Station. But they are all pretty good-looking, so don't worry.

Maybe you think Jack Swigert, the bachelor astronaut who supposedly had a lady friend in every port, is totally attractive, or perhaps you think the '90s mustaches of Scott Altman and Michael Tanner are super cute. Everyone has their own turn-ons! Other NASA astronauts who might make you weak in the knees include Neil Armstrong (First Man on the Moon is a pretty sexy achievement!) and Pete Conrad with his tooth gap.

Where's Yuri Gagarin, you might ask? He was pretty hot. Sure, but he was a cosmonaut, which is what Russia calls their astronauts. So you will have to find another list on which to vote for him. This is just hot American guys who flew in space. Isn't that enough?

Anyway, scroll down and really take in these handsome astronauts. Who do you think is the sexiest astronaut? Upvote him so others can ogle, and maybe even rerank the entire list and put the hottest astronaut hotties you see at the top.

During the Apollo 17 mission, Cernan became the eleventh person to walk on the Moon. Since he re-entered the Apollo Lunar Module after Harrison Schmitt on their third and final lunar excursion, he was the last person to walk on the Moon. Cernan traveled into space three times; as pilot of Gemini 9A in June 1966, as lunar module pilot of Apollo 10 in May 1969, and as commander of Apollo 17 in December 1972, the final Apollo lunar landing. Cernan was also a backup crew member of the Gemini 12, Apollo 7 and Apollo 14 space missions.
