“ The scientists said that [the women] were better suited than men to go into space, and some thought they would be the first to go because they were smaller than the male astronauts and needed smaller life support systems. It was not to be, as politicians and Nasa quashed the notion and went for male-only astronauts. ”
Jess McCabe in a mini-review of She Should Have Gone to the Moon for The F-Word. The comments mention a BBC documentary, Right Stuff, Wrong Sex, available at the BBC Archive site.
