Axiom astronaut Peggy Whitson hangs up her flight suit... on public display

The United States' most experienced astronaut has hung up her flight suit.

Peggy Whitson, who spent 675 days in space over the course of four missions — three for NASA and one commercial — came to Space Center Houston on Monday (Jan. 8) for the reveal of her Axiom Space flight suit as it was placed on public display. She wore the emblem-adorned, blue and black garment as the commander of Ax-2, the second all-private astronaut flight to the International Space Station (ISS), which was organized by Axiom in 2023.
