A space oddity?

Or April Fools?

We report, you decide . . .

One reason for female astronaut recruitment was that women required slightly less life support hardware, and that saved weight on the pad -- important when boosters weren't too peppy. After it was demonstrated that the boosters would do the job, it wasn't considered necessary.

Besides, there wasn't any place to put the potpourri. [ducks, runs]

My mother went to school with Wally. She tried to keep up with her over the years, but eventually lost touch.

Sent her a link to the original site. She was thrilled to see her old friend resurface in the news. (Would have sent her here, but the level of sarcasm overwhelms sometimes.)

Thanks for posting. You made someone very happy today.

OK the key points are:1)Males are sexist pigs. 2)Wally was a victim.3)Women actually make better astronauts.
