Chevrolet Astrovettes, 1969. The crew of Apollo 12 - astronauts Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean - ordered custom-painted Corvette C3s. Each astronaut ordered a matching Corvette Stingray coupe, powered by 390hp, 427ci Turbo-Jet V8 engines with 4-speed wide-range transmission and PosiTraction 3.08 rear axles. Bean (the fourth person to walk on the moon who passed away in 2018) played a key role in the design of the Corvettes, choosing the black on gold color scheme. The design included distinctive black “wings” styled by Alex Tremulis, the industrial and automotive designer. The C3 Corvettes became known as the Astrovettes with the only difference between the cars being the red, white, and blue badges on each fender used to identify which car belonged to which astronaut

His energy not matching hers used to bother me. Now I see he did try, but the sorrow in his eyes was clear. He knew what was coming, knew it would hurt. His eyes silently apologized for the tears she'd shed and the harsh words a younger him would soon throw at her.

ALEX STERN (M/F 25)- THE LAST ASTRONAUT Personality type: ISFP place of birth: Houston, Texas favorite color: blue characteristics: genuine, honest, stubborn, patient, reliable, curious, strong-willed, loyal physical characteristics: pale skin, easy to flush, myriad freckles scattered across both face and limbs. something like constellations. you map new charts and craft stories with legend of old. red hair, a sleek ginger that catches everyone's eye. f!Alex's hair is long and that lightly waves and frizzes in the humidity. she will often wear it up due to habit and military requirement. it is a treat to see it down. m!Alex's hair is cropped short, the top left just a tad long. his sideburns will often connect to his beard, which he never has on duty. when longer, it will wave near his ears. Their hair is soft to the touch, unbelievably so. Alex's eyes were once a warm brown, the color of soil, of tree bark, of cashmere-warmth. now they are an irradiated hue of space-blue and green, the color of space-travel and hypersleep. Vanilla. Cashmere. Honey. Alex is 6'0"

OPHELIA VALDEZ (F 23)- THE SCIENTIST Personality type: INTP place of birth: NEW HORIZON, QIII, THE COALITION OF THE LAST FRONTIER, WRD 3A favorite color: orange characteristics: transparent, intelligent, determined, serious, independent, confident, capable, calm physical characteristics: sheets of long, dark hair that pairs perfectly with her startlingly green eyes. you think, perhaps, hers had once been a dark brown, so nearly black. her hands are always cold, but her body runs hot. her smile is always the brightest thing in the room. it is all you can see. it is all you want to see. Vetiver. Roses. Lavender. Ophelia is 5'5"

PUCK GOODFELLOW (THEY/THEM 24)- THE ENGINEER Personality type: ENTP place of birth: NEW HORIZON, QII, THE COALITION OF THE LAST FRONTIER, WRD 5B favorite color: black characteristics: mischievous, fun-loving, aloof, clumsy, flexible, thoughtful, kind, creative physical characteristics: tan skin with curious scarring, most likely due to occupational hazards. cropped wheat-colored hair, curling slightly behind the ears. Flat grey eyes, like winter's stone, or the slick side of a glacier. strong in the shoulders and arms, but their thighs are soft, inviting. Fresh laundry. Tobacco. Cherry. Puck is 5'10"

CAIA/CAIUS CAIN (F/M 25)- THE BOTANIST Personality type: ESFJ place of birth: NEW HORIZON, QIV, THE COALITION OF THE LAST FRONTIER, WRD 2D favorite color: green characteristics: earnest, thoughtful, compassionate, shy, resourceful, helpful, hard-working, open heart physical characteristics: dark skin that is soft and warm to the touch, always, without fail. Caia has long, intricate braids down her back. she finds enjoyment in tying various colored beads or crystals in her hair, matching it to her necklace. Caius keeps his hair meticulously wavy, enjoying the shine from his hair. He almost always keeps a neatly trimmed mustache. Gardenia. Bergamot. Jasmine. Caia is 5'8" - Caius is 5'10"

JONATHAN STERN (TRANS M 27)- THE MAJOR Personality type: ENTJ place of birth: Houston, Texas favorite color: red characteristics: rigid, talented, leader, resilient, hopeful, honest, fair, empathetic physical characteristics: similarly to his sibling, Jon's skin is pale and littered with freckles, though significantly less than Alex. he has always been grateful for this - he never needed to go to the dermatologist to check for skin cancer nearly as much as Alex had. Short and cropped, Jon's hair is a deep brown, red in one light, black in another. he inherited his father's straight locks, neat enough, but unable to manage unless gelled back. Jon is always clean shaven and has a pair of soft-looking brown eyes. if you look closely enough, you can tell his rigid front isn't always the truth. he has two matching pectoral scars from his top-surgery back in his teens. it was a graduation present from Alex who had saved for years to gift. Leather. Cedarwood. Citrus. Jon is 6'2"

pushing the alexoscar agenda i see

[itsdawnforyou]

I rewatched TIA/DOTM and Im... once you know its melody in that suit, once you look and focus on river in those episodes you see a completely different sub-set of plot.

How melody was terrified and reaching for her mother, how she escaped her space suit to try and help her mother who shot at her earlier, managing to escape because the doctor creates an unintention diversion for long enough that she can run off.

And then you see river.

How river has a mask on nearly the entire time. She figures out what is happening and she just walls off. She smiles and laughs and she looks okay until you see her when she thinks no one is looking. When she is truely terrified, seeing the silence in the tunnels. When the doctor talks about finding the girl and her face just goes blank, and theres panic in her eyes.

How she spins around with a smile and a gun, flirting with the doctor who calls her his friend, while her eyes are darting about the room in barely concealed panic.

How when the doctor asks who she is, who she killed, her face is carefully blank and she doesnt even try answering.

The song Northern Lights by Alex the Astronaut makes me think of Keeley, specifically Keeley rebuilding herself after her relationship with Jack. (The title is also pretty apt, no?)

Then I was standing with glue and tape I was panicking, my color had been changed A thousand drops of paint you dripped That you didn't know you did, you didn't know

I think you needed control to ease your brain I didn't get it until I walked away Because you made me breakfast, you cheered my name I kept thinking of polar sunshine to keep my wonder, But something was wrong

I wiggled my way out, I put back the pieces My friends, I'm sorry for the moments I missed I've painted over the glue and tape And tomorrow your name won't haunt me like this

Bye bye and by next July My therapist will say I'm fine I'll go to see the Northern Lights

And no one will ever break me down again

my love,

by the time you are reading this, you will be on another planet, a new home. we will have succeeded in our mission. i have to believe this.

i’m afraid i have flown too close; my wings are burned and my ship is dying. i no longer know what it means to be warm.

humanity wasn’t meant to last forever.

do you think that icarus -- who tasted his own wax as he fell -- had flown too close on purpose? that he had wanted to feel the warmth of the sun on his skin?

i feel as though i have done the same.

i will see you again. i swear it.

your star,

alex
