Jeanette Epps, born November 3, 1970 in Syracuse, New York, was qualified to become an astronaut by NASA in 2011. She served as an aquanaut in the Aquarius underwater laboratory in the NEEMO 18 expedition in July 2014.
She was selected to become the first African-American space crew member to visit the International Space Station but was replaced by her backup Serena Aunon-Chancellor.
She is still active as an astronaut so look for her in the future!
