Crew-11 mission astronauts wave as they depart the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building en route to launch complex LC-39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida on August 1, 2025. From L/R are Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, NASA astronaut Mike Fincke, NASA astronaut and mission commander Zena Cardman and JAXA astronaut Kimiya Yui.
I’d bet big money it’s the woman commander
Ding ding ding! We have got a winner! Of course. Can't break the myth of the "Girlboss".
They wouldn't hide the name of a While male, because the White male wouldn't care.
“Medical privacy”. So it’s not your typical case of space sickness then.
Yeah. It will be one of the women with “female problems.”
So.....the Russians were right? DEI international, intergalactic embarassment/danger?
Mister . X2 ???
Where’s the black astronaut? That crew isn’t diverse enough.
Pregnant... None of the guys fessed up, so everyone comes home..
Maybe they're not sure who's the father?

Zenas father passed away three weeks ago. Pray for her.

Morning sickness with no pregnancy test strip on board.
"If your erection lasts more than four hours, call your doctor."
I demand a tranny astronaut!!!
Just read through all the replies.
Why is nobody wondering if it might be the Roscosmos guy...?
They’d know soon enough.
