My understanding has been that 60 at the point of assignment to a mission is generally the cut-off point, thus allowing astros to fly by age 61-62 at the latest.
[Borisov] is on Crew-7, launching in Spring 2024--Spacefacts is wrong there. I know I've seen it, and I'm nearly positive Oleg Kononenko has confirmed it. (The manned launches page and the upcoming expeditions page also do not always agree.) As far as Tracy Caldwell-Dyson, the red doesn't mean she's not flying: that just means that she was part of that group of updates (there was one or more in red font, just like in blue font or brown font).
There is no more "Artemis Group"Reid Wiseman, current chief astronaut, has stated that all 42 active NASA astronauts are available for Artemis missions
No harm no foul. I thought Victor Glover was a shoo-in to command Artemis 3
they haven’t announced who the crew 7 MS1 is it’s not furukawa according to multiple sources borisov is MS2
Seems that Tunisia wants to fly a woman with Russia to ISS in 2024.

Don’t know who will be assigned as commander the launch isn’t until 2024 maybe drew feustel gets assigned to command that mission or someone like a Randy bresnik or a Scott tingle. Cuz bresnik was selected as a pilot back in 04.
You are forgetting Jeremy Hansen. If Furukawa flies on Crew-7 then Hansen flies on Starliner-1, or vice-versa.

I am wondering if the time has come to split this thread into 2 parts: one for confirmed actual verified officially flight crew assignments and a second one for speculation. Hey, I love reading everyone's guesses and reasoning, but it would be great to come straight to real information. I would still enjoy both parts, of course!

I thought this thread was for "confirmed actual verified officially flight crew assignments" not speculations but was biting my tongue hoping they would run out of gas soon but they seem to go on forever. Speculation should maybe be a thread associated with a particular flight?

No worries, Bill Nelson also have them mixed up...
