Yes. There's currently way more people who want to be astronauts, than people who can be astronauts. So you get some extreme selection effects; and those tend to bring out weird people.

I was really thinking of astronauts who have actually been to space; I wonder whether the experience disposes people to kookiness. I suspect that trainee/aspiring astronauts might suppress their kookiness.
