Well, if we are going to nitpick:
Citizenship is not automatically bequeathed upon birth in a
country, because it depends on the country of birth and the
the country of the parents. For example, in many countries,
children born to parent(s) on diplomatic mission do not have
automatic citizenship in the country of birth. On the otherhand,
some European countries have very restrictive eligibility 
requirements for citizenship, and sometimes birth is not
sufficient if the parents are not already present citizens.
In the US, technically, you are not normally allowed dual     
citizenship.

   I did find it interesting that NASA includes text indicating
the crew's considered hometowns. I guess grass roots support
never hurts.
