Well, it would certainly be nice if NASA gave an official explanation. Maybe there is a medical emergency at the ISS and they’re trying to keep the situation under wraps. Or she got bumped because astronauts get bumped all the time. But this story has become a major issue now and NASA should address it.

I hope that the reason behind this becomes public soon. It isn’t a good look for NASA to keep their mouths shut with the media storm about this story. They need to say something or allow Dr. Epps to say something.

If a relative saying something that NASA doesn’t like is all it takes to blacklist a Ph.D. astronaut, then she never had a chance to begin with.

Too many ‘Blues Brothers’ viewings means I hear it pronounced in Dan Aykroyd’s accent.

My mom was born the year Peter Pan came out, and was named Wendy. My Uncle Jon’s reaction to meeting her was, “Or you know what a better name for the baby would be? Captain Hook!” It’s still a joke in our family. But yeah, Star would be a better name than Chicago.

Savannah. I’m going with Savannah. (said in my best Kevin Spacey accent)

Chicago West is how kids from Aurora, IL who go out-of-state for college explain where they’re from.

This is where my mind goes. Like this: Chicago West! A travel production of your favorite musical, on tour this spring throughout California, Oregon, and Washington! Get your tickets now!

The name Chi West has infinite branding possibilities. It could be the name of a clothing line, a latte, a restaurant, a yoga studio, our future president, an airline, a furniture store. I like it.

HEY_O!!!

In my head, I pronounce the name pronounced in a Mike Ditka accent.

In one article, I saw that North wanted to name her baby sister Star. I never thought I’d find a case where I’d go “Hmm, maybe they should have gone with the name from the 4-year old.”

Same.

It’s a cute Metra stop, though:

This is perfect. I snorted.

I actually don’t hate the name “Chicago” for a baby on its own. It’s not my favorite but it’s by no means the worst I’ve ever heard.

If we’re lucky, she’s perjured herself

Yup, I was 100% not surprised when women came forward about that. Older men use their age as an excuse to behave in lecherous ways, because most of the time it gets chalked up to “well, he’s from a different era”.

Dog coverage is the best coverage.
