Roach’s book really is good, and it has a whole chapter on bathroom topics, including the issue of “separation” ew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-at-nasa#post-2016995 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 01:11:53 +0000 rachylou 2016995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The whole bathroom thing is rather interesting and a feat of engineering. Every ounce of weight has to be considered, among other things. Waste handling and storage. What goes up, must come down. Disposable baby diapers, that’s all NASA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-at-nasa#post-2016987 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 00:47:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2016987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strange to talk about making a space suit to fit “just a few” more people. Is there any size suit that is worn by more than “a few” with a grand total of 3 dozen astronauts? </p> <p>The whole thing reminds me of a story Mary Roach tells in Packing For Mars about when the US first sent a woman to space—engineers designing spots for astronauts’ gear came to her and asked if 100 tampons would be enough for the couple of days she’d be in space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-at-nasa#post-2016958 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 21:43:28 +0000 rachylou 2016958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the age of 35! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-at-nasa#post-2016933 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 19:11:59 +0000 Carla 2016933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-at-nasa#post-2016909 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 16:37:56 +0000 rachylou 2016909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, we don’t even have our own ‘wheels’ to get to the international space station. We’re hitching rides with the Russians.

Not only would that discount many women, but also many Latina men-who are often shorter than me.<br /> DH wanted to be a jet pilot, but is 6'4" so that was a no go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-at-nasa#post-2016710 Sat, 30 Mar 2019 17:57:47 +0000 rachylou 2016710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that. Actually, in some ways, I’m surprised being an astronaut isn’t more like being a jet pilot, and everyone has to be within a certain size range. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-at-nasa#post-2016687 Sat, 30 Mar 2019 15:30:20 +0000 Carla 2016687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://www.npr.org/2019/03/26/706779637/nasa-scraps-first-all-female-spacewalk-for-want-of-a-medium-sized-spacesuit" rel="nofollow">https://www.npr.org/2019/03/26.....-spacesuit</a> </p>
