NASA removes 1st African-American ISS astronaut from mission
NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps, supposed to become the first African-American to live aboard the International Space Station in June, has been pulled off the mission. Replaced by fellow astronaut Serena Aunon-Chancellor, 46-year-old Epps would be considered for future missions, said NASA. African-American astronauts have visited ISS before, but Epps would have been the first on a long-term mission.
