Auñón-Chancellor, but that Epps would “be considered for assignment to future missions”. African-American astronauts have visited the space station, but Epps would have been the first to live there. The reason for Epps’ removal was not stated, and NASA spokesperson Brandi Dean said, “These decisions are personnel matters for which NASA doesn’t provide information.” On January 20, Epps’ brother Henry posted a statement on Facebook, since deleted, that “My sister Dr. Jeannette Epps has been fighting against oppressive racism and misogyny in NASA and now they are holding her back and allowing a Caucasian Astronaut to take her place!” Jeanette Epps stated that she could not comment on her brother’s post or the reason why she was pulled off the mission, but did state that she has no medical condition or family problem preventing her from flying, and that her training had been successful. The Washington Post stated that “Last-minute crew changes are not unusual at NASA.”
