Today in Appropriate Priorities

I’m taking on a new mission, one that keeps my feet planted here firmly on Earth and prioritizes my most important crew – my family. I’ll still be working hard with the #Starliner team and the @NASA_Astronauts on our crew. pic.twitter.com/PgdhPqwYQS

Boeing astronaut Chris Ferguson has bowed out of the first manned flight of the first "Starliner" flight because it conflicts with his daughter's wedding. 

 I wholeheartedly approve:

It was a defining moment for Boeing astronaut Chris Ferguson when he chose dedication to family over a flight to the International Space Station.

Serving as the commander of Boeing's first astronaut-led flight, Ferguson announced Wednesday that he has pulled himself off the crew so he can attend his daughter's wedding next year. Ferguson posted a video on Twitter that revealed his decision to stay at home with family.

Good.
