He left NASA in 2013 to become a pilot for Virgin Galactic.", "wiki": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_W._Sturckow", "last_flight": "2024-01-26T17:42:05Z", "first_flight": "1998-12-04T08:35:34Z", "social_media_links": [], "flights_count": 17, "landings_count": 17, "spacewalks_count": 0 }, { "id": 40, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.3.0/astronauts/40/?format=api", "name": "Elliot See", "status": { "id": 5, "name": "Lost In Training" }, "agency": { "response_mode": "list", "id": 44, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.3.0/agencies/44/?format=api", "name": "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", "abbrev": "NASA", "type": { "id": 1, "name": "Government" } }, "image": { "id": 699, "name": "[AUTO] Elliot See - image", "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/elliot_see_image_20220911033946.jpeg", "thumbnail_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/255bauto255d__image_thumbnail_20240305190534.jpeg", "credit": null, "license": { "id": 1, "name": "Unknown", "priority": 9, "link": null }, "single_use": true, "variants": [] }, "response_mode": "normal", "type": { "id": 2, "name": "Government" }, "in_space": false, "time_in_space": "P0D", "eva_time": "P0D", "age": 38, "date_of_birth": "1927-07-23", "date_of_death": "1966-02-28", "nationality": [ { "id": 2, "name": "United States of America", "alpha_2_code": "US", "alpha_3_code": "USA", "nationality_name": "American", "nationality_name_composed": "Americano" } ], "bio": "Elliot McKay See Jr. was an American engineer, naval aviator, test pilot, and NASA astronaut.
