Oh My...

Hope Valentina Tereshkova dies of coronavirus

You know, that’s really uncalled for, anon. Just because someone has terrible political views doesn’t mean they deserve to die, especially so painfully. Gotta say I was disappointed and shocked to read this ask when I woke up this morning.

@ravesti n O 

My thoughts....I think that's really unique that they also celebrating one of the muslim traditions in space...especially when they performing their prayer.

Its seems really hard when they want to do sujud in the conditions where they always floating around, heeeheh~🤔😅

Social Distancing Day 12: Just googled “What direction do Muslim astronauts pray towards?”

Oh god

Thats sounds really wholesome....oh andreaa💕

I HOPE....YOU WILL...😤💕

Y’all I just found this newspaper article about a 16 year old girl who somehow snuck into an invite-only event in NYC just to meet Gus in 1965:

“For five years Andrea Kline has been an ardent fan of astronaut Gus Grissom… and yesterday she finally got to meet him. Grissom exclaimed, ‘You finally made it, Andrea!’ when she popped in front of him and introduced herself at an invitation-only affair in a New York hotel last night. Grissom told his wife, ‘This is my Number One fan.’ … [She] has been writing to Grissom and sending him gifts for five years… Andrea, 16, did not explain how she crashed the affair.”

If that ain’t the most ME thing I’ve ever read… I’m so proud of Andrea, she is so valid 😭

Also, a happy 75th birthday to cosmonaut/flight engineer Alexander Serebrov. He held the record for the most number of spacewalks, 10, until cosmonaut Anatoly Solovyev beat his number with a total of 16 spacewalks. Serebrov contributed to the deigns for the Salyut-6, Salyut-7, and Mir space stations, and a “space motorcycle” named Icarus. He was quite the man!
