Jeanette Epps is now slated to become the first Black woman to be apart of the International Space Station. This comes two years after she was supposed to board a Russian spacecraft as a member of ISS but was removed with no explanation.

Since Guion Bluford in 1983 more than a dozen African Americans have gone to space but none of them did so as a member of the international space station. Epps is set to join Sunita Williams and Josh Cassada in 2021 on a special made Boeing-built Starliner spacecraft.

Epps worked at the CIA for seven years as a technical intelligence officer and has a doctorate in aerospace engineering.
