Well Bradbury wrote a story called "Rocket Man" about a boy's father who is a spacecraft pilot. I just heard the Elton John song of the same name and it got me wondering if the story was an influence on the song - those are the only two places I've ever heard the term, and "astronaut" was already in wide usage when the song was written. Just wondering, and will probably never know, but it is possible....
