Beach Blanket Spaceship(Sandra McDonald)
An astronaut takes a holiday in a simulation of a 1950s beach film. It doesn't go exactly according to plan.
So, I was talking about ideas SF could lose now? I should have mentioned things like "Voyager 20", where some old probe program name is used with an implausibly large number tacked on. The final Voyager launch was almost 40 years ago. I am pretty sure the US isn't going to suddenly say "Hey, let's launch at least 18 more space probes named after ones from the Carter Administration."
(Not that another 18 Voyager class probes with modern space rated tech would be a bad idea)
