personally I would have waited until just after the comms blackout during the Lunar flyby. “Houston, the Moon has changed me.”

now, the wake-up songs is a NASA tradition all the way back to Gemini, they’re chosen by the crew members or their families and friends and often they represent specific members of the crew, why they chose this one for the crew of our most heterosexual woman ever is a mystery. unrelated fact, they also used to think Sally Ride was straight
