On October 16, 2025, the world lost not just a legend, not just a rock icon, but also a good man.  Paul Daniel “Ace” Frehley, at the tender age of 21, was brave enough to take one small orange step and one small red step, and make the giant leap into the global phenomenon that we all now know as KISS.  And while MOST of his dreams ended up coming true, at least ONE did NOT.

When he suddenly passed away from a brain bleed following a head injury at 74, he was still only merely PLAYING the character of a Space Cadet.  He NEVER got to be one for REAL.  In honor of his memory, all the lives directly and indirectly impacted by him, and his one last remaining unfulfilled wish, NASA should posthumously make Ace Frehley an honorary astronaut with the rank of “Captain”, because a celestial being of his caliber doesn’t deserve anything less of a send-off than this.  His last countdown should be his absolute BEST!
