She may have been diagnosed with some chronic problem such as asthma or something else that would make it difficult for her to live there. People of African descent are very prone to asthma, but it doesn’t always emerge in childhood and can come on later.
In any case, I don’t think it’s right for people to start implying things about her qualifications, her attitude, or anything else within her control. She made it this far, so she’s probably fine on every score, and I’m sure it was something unrelated to either of these things.
Thank you. Some of these comments are disgusting.
Likely some health issue....as I see it. And that’s just guessing.
That’s what I was thinking. THey are very good about avoiding germs in the run-up to a launch, but it is NOT unheard of for an exposure, and they don’t take chances. Remember how on Apollo 13 Ken Mattingly was replaced 48 hours before launch because of exposure to measles.
A-freaking-men! These are the times that FR embarrasses me.
In particular, "tired&retired", Dr. Epps earned a doctorate in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Maryland. Shame on you, for implying that her doctorate was only "honorary"!
It's posters like you that give conservatives a bad reputation.
