Now head of the Astronaut Office of NASA
According to news reports and this article she is now head of the Astronaut Office for NASA. The first woman to hold this position. This happened because Steven Lindsey, handed over his chief astronaut position to Peggy Whitson in order to lead the last shuttle mission. See also this entry in Wikipedia on the STS-133 mission.

Overcapitalization
No, "official titles" do not get capitalized, per MOS:JOBTITLES. I'm pretty sure "pope" is an official title, and even that does not get capitalized in WP. This is an encyclopedia article, not a company brochure, where we have come to expect such gratuitous overcapitalizaton. And the article should not start with "Dr." per MOS:CREDENTIAL.

FYI: Birth
I just completed removal of the reference to Peggy Whitson's place of birth. Various news sources have translated this to say that "Whitson is from Mount Ayr." I make this change based on my belief that the location of the hospital to which Peggy's mother traveled for her birth has little impact on her upbringing. Very few rural towns have hospitals and, on this basis, nobody would be "from" these towns. (From my personal experience, we traveled to the state capital for our special needs births and, on this basis, do not in any way consider our daughters to be "from Des Moines" as they were raised in our home in a rural Iowa city.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LamoniDave (talk • contribs) 21:00, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
