Nasa does not have enough astronauts, even though the space shuttle programme has ended, a report says.

The National Research Council, a non-profit group advising on science policy, said Nasa should increase the size of its space-flying crew.

It said astronauts were needed to staff the International Space Station (ISS) and pave the way for new exploration.
