Now, unknown to all but a very few, there were to be two: Bill and me….I’m Trace.All of this was the upshot of years of planning, engineering, thought, discussion as well as, almost an afterthought, the people who would “man” the space craft. Gay sex Name one gay Astronaut……ever. He asked, so I told him.“We’ll be just like this even if we’re watching Jupiter or the rings of Saturn.” I forgot about clouds, sky and flowers and concentrated on him as well as the rest of our lives…..going someplace. The faster version, which Bill was working on, would go 500,000 mph carrying, as suggested, a crew of two persons; No sexual preference considered. Bill seemed to realize I had lost some interest in him but drifted into my own thoughts. There was no intent to hide anything but also no reason to publicize what could have been looked on….with not quite approval by all who might concern themselves. “It’s” that simple but that puzzling to all who contemplated it…..except the media who would have had a field day with the idea of sending two gay men into beyond distant outer space for whatever the purpose.
