NASA has 13 astronauts, the entirety of the 2017 class, who have a combined total time in space that is less than Jeff Bezos has. Which is to say none of them have been in space and when they do go t will be aboard commercial spacecraft. If they happen to take a trip on top of a falcon 9 rocket in a crew dragon capsule, they will be passengers. Yet they are currently called astronauts and would likely be given “wings” upon completion of their first flight as a passenger on a crew dragon.
