This latest chapter is honestly some of your best work!

As a lesbian who applies every NASA astronaut corps application cycle, I cannot overstate how awesome this was to read. .....Waaaaaaaaait a second, I know that name!

Oh shit, are Sally Ride and Drew Barrymore getting outed in the same evening?! (Though I will say Barrymore's gaydar pinging on Ride is depicted pretty realistically, especially for the time period--there were a lot of ambiguous pronouns used backed then. Also, as a certified space lesbian...
