What age do astronauts retire at?
Each astronaut retires when their health no longer allows them to fly or for personal reasons. No upper limit is set, it all depends on the individual astronaut.
Twenty-three years ago, 77-year-old American John Glenn proved that advanced age is no barrier to spaceflight. Since 1962, when Glenn was first on board the space shuttle, he has dreamed of flying again.
And on October 29, 1998, he finally made his dream come true. The gap between the astronaut's first and last flight was 36 years
