They probably could, but up until now, none of the world's national space agencies

has begun to accept deaf applicants for astronaut training. Note that the customary

continuous communication with ground controllers might become an issue, although

in principle, it could be accomplished by 'texting'.

A few other conditions which, as of the present time, constitute automatic show-stoppers,

include, but are not limited to, vision impairments all the way from corrective lenses to

blindness, partial paralysis, lack of both a college degree and piloting experience, morbid

obesity, paranoia, mean or lower intelligence, tendency toward motion sickness, lack of

a level of ambition bordering on OCD, spinal stenosis, BPH, chronic renal calculus, etc.
