From the 'instructions':
"Explain what you are doing, and that you are using a restraint to ensure that he is safe."
*Ahem*, shall we have some gender neutrality here?
"using a restraint to ensure that THEY are safe."
Hey, let's face it - we've only had one astronaut go totally apesh*t so far, and that was on the ground (thank GOD), and their chromosomal structure was 'XX'.

"using a restraint to ensure that THEY are safe."That's in the protocol for dealing with more than one psychotic astronaut. The proper pronoun for a single person of indeterminate gender is the first-person singular masculine, and the AP copy desk is a stickler for that one.
