Apollo 19 on approach to the unknown Soviet module
You could cut the tension with a knife. Mission Control is furiously chewing gum, like only a man whose recently been told he's not allowed to smoke in here can. The screen is showing mostly static, but there's enough visibility to see that it's definitely a Soviet module that the Apollo 19 mission is approaching.
Albertson, a young guy of about 22, comes in with a couple binders. "I've got those mission briefs, sir." "Great, great. Chaffee is almost close enough to read the insignia, and then we can figure this crap out." Another phone rings. He ignores it. This mission is screwed up enough without some white house bureaucrat breathing down his neck.
Chaffee's radio signal lights up. "I'm close enough to read the markings. It looks like it's C-O-Ю-З... 2. Over." and a burst of static.
Albertson drops a binder on the floor, the sound making everyone jump, like the Space module a hundred miles over their head might jump out and bite them. Control spots the right binder among the ones still perched on the desk, and grabs it himself.
"Here it is. Soyuz 2, launched back in '68, unmanned. It was supposed to be docked with Soyuz 3, but they gave up and the mission was a failure. Says here that it deorbited 28th of October, 1968. Huh..."
He looks up at the big clock on the wall. It's 9:18 AM, 3rd of July... 1972.
He motions to Stevenson. "Give him the go-ahead. He should know how to open the hatch, we covered this in training." He zones out as Stevenson relays the information. What in the Sam Hill is a Soviet rocket doing in lunar orbit, nearly four years after the blasted thing is supposed to have landed? Did the commies cover up what they were really doing with this rocket? Is his information wrong? Is the damn CIA lying to them again?" and he reaches into his shirt for a pack of smokes that isn't there, for about the 14th time today. He's shaken back to reality by the image showing up on the screen: There's a Krechet-94 spacesuit in the module. There's only one reason a spacesuit would be in an "unmanned" module... this mission wasn't as unmanned as everyone says.
On the screen, Chaffee is reaching into the cramped pod. The suit's sun visor is down, thankfully, he's happen for one less scare today. Chaffee is looking at the suit's indicators, but they're all blank. If someone was alive in there... they aren't anymore. He fumbles with the bottom of the helmet's gold-colored visor, and Control vaguely hears Stevenson relaying to Chaffee that there should be two plastic clips by the bottom which can be used to raise the sun visor. Chaffee gets it, and slowly raises the visor. The death's head, the smiling skull... it's always an almost comical image, even when you rationally know that a skeleton is the result of a living and breathing person who has died and decayed. Control saw plenty of dead bodies back in the war, but usually they weren't this far gone.
Chaffee cuts in on the mic, saying the obvious. Yep, Houston, if you can't see this... it's a skeleton. He says he'll check the uniform for a name. Behind Control, Albertson finally stands back up and ends up dropping the binder all over again, and this time even more people jump. "My god!" he nearly shouts. Control needs a cigarette more than ever.
Albertson peers past Control at the screen. "The Soviets... were sending skeletons into space?"
Control tells Stevenson to take over, he needs to make a call. It's a lie, there's no call, he's just not going to make it through today without a smoke break. And as for Albertson... "Albertson, get the hell out of here. You're too damn stupid to be working at NASA. No, they didn't launch skeletons, you complete... GAH."
The mission carries on. Control gets his cigarette. Albertson goes off to be a fool somewhere else.

Had a wonderful day at flamecon nyc today with some of my best friends in the world! Saw amazing art, cosplayers, and highly approved of the music selection (lots of whitney houston and chappell roan). I got my almost 10 year old(!) copy of Nimona signed by N.D Stevenson, which is enough to make a grown man cry, and thoroughly enjoyed every second spent. Events like these are proof that small artists, queer artists, and communities forged from love rather than hate are always important and always powerful. Support small artists, support queer communities, and love your friends.

Azellia White (June 3, 1913 - September 15, 2019) was the first African American woman to earn her pilot’s license in Texas and a trailblazer in the aviation field.
She was born in Gonzalez, Texas. Her father was a sharecropper and her mother was a midwife. She married her childhood sweetheart, Hulon “Pappy” White (1936). The couple had one stillborn child. They moved to Tuskegee where her husband became a mechanic for the Tuskegee Airmen unit.
Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited the Tuskegee Army Air Field and requested a ride with Tuskegee Chief Instructor Charles A. Anderson. Mrs. Roosevelt flew for over an hour with the instructor, drawing national attention to the unit. She was present at that visit and was inspired by Mrs. Roosevelt’s interest in flying. She began to train with her husband and his colleagues and taught herself to fly. She took her maiden flight in a Taylorcraft plane.
They opened an aviation school for African Americans called Sky Ranch Flying Service with Ben Stevenson and Elton “Ray” Thomas, two other Tuskegee Airmen. The school served as an airport for the segregated Houston community, providing chartered flights, delivery services, and flying instructions to all interested in learning how to fly. She received her pilot's license on March 26, 1946. Flying students would often ask her to take them on flights, and she loved to surprise them with midair stunts. With segregation laws so entrenched on the ground, she preferred to travel by air. The flying school closed its doors in 1948 after financial restrictions to the GI Bill made operations difficult.
She became a licensed beautician and worked in a department store after the school closed. Her husband died in 1995. was inducted into the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame in 2018. The Science Lab at Sterling Aviation High School in Houston is named in her honor, and she was honored by the Huston Area Urban Guild for her trailblazing efforts. She received the Trailblazer Award from the Black Pilots of America. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Lauren Anderson (born February 19, 1965) is a ballet dancer and a former principal dancer with the Houston Ballet. She was one of the first African-American ballerinas to become a principal for a major dance company, an important milestone in American ballet. She joined the Houston Ballet in 1983 and became a principal dancer in 1990. She was the second African-American female ballet dancer to be promoted to principal dancer at a major American ballet company. Her performance in the title role in Cleopatra gave her international recognition. She has performed works by George Balanchine and Sir Kenneth MacMillan, among others. She originated the role of Cleopatra in the ballet of the same name created by Ben Stevenson, and her performance received reviews; the Boston Globe called her "a powerhouse in interpreting the role that Stevenson created on her." She was the first African-American principal dancer at Houston Ballet and the only African-American prima ballerina at the head of a major ballet company anywhere in the world. She retired from performance in 2006. She became an outreach associate in the Houston Ballet’s education department. She teaches ballet classes at Houston Ballet’s academy and conducts master classes at schools in the Houston area. She is in demand as a lecturer on the subject of ballet. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphakappaalpha https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2BTZiLhCh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
