The most famous example being Alyssa Carson [1]. These frauds exist for a reason, there's an huge (and legitimate) demand for covering women in space.

I guess Peggy Whitson isn't sexy enough be on cover of magasines, so journalists need to find instagrammable faces.

She (her parents?) monetized it well: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssa-carson-87b874152/

I like how her list of accomplishments starts with "witnessing 3 Space Shuttle launches.": https://nasablueberry.com/about/

Stunning.

At least she has a writing career to fall back on.

I think Sian Proctor and Hayley Arceneaux actually would count as the latest American women in space and they were just on the cover of Time.
