“One Small Step for Woman”

A physiology report reveals that women who were candidates for NASA’s Mercury space program tested as well as the men, but the 1960’s program was cancelled before any women got to become astronauts. Still, the women agree that the male pilots were just as smart as the first Americans in space: the chimpanzees.

If women had been allowed into space in the 1960’s think what it might have meant. Instead of just orbiting the Earth in a circle, a male pilot would have been forced to pull over and ask directions.

Immediately after Neil Armstrong made the first footprint on the moon, he would have been forced to clean it up.

The moon rover would never have been allowed to just sit there, unmoving, on the front lawn for years.

The payload of every space shuttle mission would have had a lot of extra pairs of shoes.

Spacewalks might not ever be an issue, though, because those space suits make everybody’s butt look big.
