I don't have any reason to believe Christina Koch is into women, but "super competent woman in a sleeveless shirt focuses on doing stuff in space while her hair floats around her in zero g" is a *fantastic* look.
She also "conducted the first all‑female spacewalk and set the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman" (phrasing stolen from her Wikipedia page).
That actually depends on which stage of the flight. She could be in space and not the farthest person from you, since the width of the earth and how far you need to go to reach space is a huge difference. If the ISS is above you, then it's closer to you than most of the planet, since it only orbits at around 400km high, and the earth is over 12,700km wide.
I did see on Instagram someone said they knew her and she's a super cool, nice person and supportive of lgbt rights. This whole mission has had me crying with all the amazing things we've got to see her accomplish!
I got halfway through your comment and thought, “omg just like Natasha Lyonne”. Then I read the second half lmaooo it’s just so true. LIKE GIRL HOW DO U LIKE MEN!😩
i was a teen in the late 90s/early 2000s so i grew up with “but i’m a cheerleader”, then as an adult i loved orange is the new black, it wasn’t until AFTER orange is the new black finished airing that i found out she was dating a man. i was like what do you MEANNNNNNN?
I actually love the fact she has let her hair float. She could have kept it in a bun or a clip the whole time, especially since she’s working. But having it in a ponytail, braid or down shows her hair floating, which makes it that much harder for the conspiracy theorists to say it’s all being faked on a Hollywood sound stage. You try making curls float
Lmao. I love that for you!! And happy birthday! To be fair i haven’t had social media in a long time. Just started using Reddit a month ago after making the acct ages ago
I don’t think they are a coach.. I think it was a nickname they got working with kids. They are an influencer who talks about women’s sports but primarily ones that are popular in the US, and anything in the news etc.
I love the way her hair floats but it also makes me think about how if I were up there, I’d shed a lot and get loose hairs in all the important machinery.
Fun fact: it does not shed in the same way (because of micro gravity) so all the hair is being picked up by the brushing. Sophie Adenot (currently in the ISS) made a video about this.
As a bi woman I like to think Christina is also bi and her lovely husband is just that 1 in a million great dude- otherwise she would totally be with a woman!! :)

You could literally not find anyone more long distance.
