The U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame will honor its 2025 class of inductees, record-setting space travelers Peggy Whitson and Bernard Harris, at a public ceremony in Florida this spring. There is a possibility though, that one of the honorees will not be able to be able to attend the festivities.
That is because, at the time, Whitson may be back in space.

It seems Dr. Whitson's launch date is on track for just as Hall of Fame activities begin. That is a first. I wonder how they will factor in that she may/will be in space during the festivities.

Peggy was asked about being in space for her induction during the Axiom 4 crew conference in January, so it has been something that she and the event planners have been aware of for some time.
My understanding is that arrangements were being made for both the possibility she is in space or, if there is a delay to her launch, being able to take part on the ground.
