Sally Ride by Allison Adams
Astronaut Sally Ride (1951-2012) became the first American woman sent into outer space and and the youngest person ever to be sent into orbit when she flew on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1983. She made two shuttle flights and committed her life to educating young people and encouraging them to explore careers in science. “We have to make science cool again,” she said. And indeed she did, as she became a role model for young people, especially girls, so often left out of the sciences, for the next generations.

Meet Sophie Adenot, one of the new ESA career Astronauts. Born in 1982 in France, she seems to have done everything right to get in this position. After studying spacecraft dynamics in France, she did a master of science at MIT specifically on centrifuge training for astronauts.
Right after she joined the France Air Force to become a helicopter pilot. In this role she worked as search and rescue pilot, formation flight leader, team captain and as experimental test pilot.
Sophie has received multiple distinctions for her work as young leader and her outreach for gender equality.
Can't wait to see her float in Space!

THE FIRST GIRL ON THE MOON
I came across a clickbait article a few days back saying something like "They are resuming the US space program" and reading the title reminded me of two things: the first teacher/astronaut (forgot her name) who was supposed to teach her first lesson from space but sadly, she didn't make it (she was part of the tragic Challenger Space Shuttle crew) and this song, "The First Girl On The Moon". Of course this was pre-internet time and yes, post-covid era saw remote schooling becoming the norm but it made me wonder...what if that tragedy never happened? I wonder how would her students react seeing their teacher teaching them that day's lesson from way out in space? Would it had gained popularity, would NASA considered making it part of their space programs or maybe...part of the ISS missions? Or maybe (since I’m a scifi fantasy addict) would it had paved a way for a Utopian society? I don't know for sure, but if that article is true (never bothered reading clickbait articles anyway, heheh), I wish that once they put a female astronaut on the moon, I want her to play this song on the moon as an homage of sort, for that fallen teacher and every other women astronauts past present and future.

Yandere astronaut x tall! Alien reader
Warnings: possessiveness, it is not edited I will do it later, in some parts I used a translator
Yandere astronaut who studied and worked hard to become one of the first humans to set foot on planet Kapler, a planet discovered 10 years ago in another galaxy in a habitable zone for humans.
Yandere astronaut who is the researcher in charge of documenting and recording all the information of this trip, from the day they left planet earth until their arrival on planet Kapler.
Yandere astronaut who makes a trip of almost 3 years with his companions. For 10 years, the Wata -a space station- invented a ship that could travel at speeds never before recorded and what would have been a journey of thousands of years was one of 3 years.
Yandere astronaut what his ship reaches the orbit of this new planet and when he was getting on a small transport ship to reach Kapler, a meteor the size of a car crashed into the spaceship and due to this, his transport ship is ejected and fall somewhere on the planet.
Yandere astronaut who was not yet ready to travel to the planet, he did not have the supplies ready, much less he had his belt on, while the ship fell, he bounced everywhere without control and leaving him unconscious.
Yandere astronaut who heard a noise of metal breaking and he could swear he felt hands carrying him but his mind was too confused and he couldn't open his eyes.
Yandere astronaut who wakes up in a shelter made of stone and trees, he is not quite sure how he got there and when he was ready to find answers, entered what he thought was impossible.
Yandere astronaut who almost had a heart attack when a being of more than 2 meters entered the room carrying an unknown animal, but the alien stops when she notices that the space traveler is awake and looking at her with eyes as big as a melon.
Yandere astronaut who is overwhelmed by everything that is happening, the planet was supposed to be without inhabitants, you are not supposed to be here.
Yandere astronaut who faints again from all the emotions he had in a short time, when he wakes up again, you are in a corner of the shelter cooking the animal you brought.
Yandere astronaut who accidentally made a noise when he woke up and alerted you that your guest was looking in your direction and to his surprise, you handed him what looked like a plate with the food you made.
Yandere astronaut who first refused to eat or accept anything that came from you, but soon after he accepted to eat your meals.
Yandere astronaut the more time passes, the more he becomes attached to you, you two created a routine where you go hunting animals and get common fruits and vegetables from the planet and bring them to home, while he cooks and cleans.
Yandere astronaut who at first wanted to return to his crew but that is now a distant memory and he better concentrates on giving your our house a better look and pleasing his wife friend.
Yandere astronaut who does everything possible to get you attention and prays to the stars, the sun or the universe to look at him romantically and reciprocate his feelings.
Yandere astronaut who begins to have thoughts that his crewmates if they are still alive can find him and try to take him back or worse, try to steal his lover.
Yandere astronaut who with that simple thought begins to be jealous and rage consumes him completely, he tries even harder to turn you into his romantic partner.
Yandere astronaut who doesn't really have the strength to provide food but he is willing to become the housewife, and in turn shows you that he can be a useful lover please look at me.
Yandere astronaut who already planned your entire future together, from the wedding ceremony with just the two of you to the name of your first 3 children.
Yandere astronaut who is euphoric just thinking about having children with you, you two would create a new specie and it's another way to tie you to him
Yandere astronaut who at some point is convinced that you return his feelings but it is only him believing what he wants and refusing to look at reality
yandere astronaut who loves being smaller than you, that way he imagines one day being the little spoon while both sleep, he will feel so protected in your arms.
Yandere astronaut takes advantage of the fact that you don't understand a word he says and calls you nicknames like wife, my partner or love.
Yandere astronaut "I'd rather launch myself into deep, dark, endless space than spend a single day away from you"
