Overview
- A Change.org campaign seeks a posthumous honorary astronaut designation for KISS co-founder Ace Frehley, drawing 621 signatures at the time of People’s publication.
- The petition leans on Frehley’s long-running 'Spaceman' persona and quotes text referencing a brain bleed after a head injury, while authorities have not released an official cause.
- NASA has not commented on the request, and People reported it has asked the agency for a response.
- Coverage identifies the organizer as Kathryn on the petition page, with Louder naming her as Katherine Sugg.
- Frehley died on October 16 at 74; an investigation by a New Jersey medical examiner has been reported, and he is set to receive a posthumous Kennedy Center Honor on December 7.
