Crew nicknames

edit

It would be good for this article to make mention of the unusual '-bo'-themed nicknames that this crew did for fun.
- CDR Pamela "Pambo" Melroy
- PLT George "Zambo" Zamka
- MS-1 Scott "Longbow" Parazynski
- MS-2 Stephanie "Robeau" Wilson (pronounced 'Robo')
- MS-3 Douglas "Flambo" Wheelock
- MS-4 Paolo "Rocky" Nespoli
- ISS FE Daniel "Bo-Ichi" Tani

Here is one reference that has photos of the crew nametags: http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum30/HTML/000621.html My understanding is that the "Zambo" nickname was first, and then "Pambo", and then it snowballed from there.--Tdadamemd sioz (talk) 18:27, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
