Who recalls the name of the sci-fi writer who was asked if
women should be allowed to be astronauts? He replied
that all astronauts should be women, since they have a

The response drew a laugh from the audience, but the
point is extremely valid, and would make a compelling
case for a mission where weight really counts. spike
