Hello All,
It seems that Wendy Lawrence (astronaut) has been dumped from the Mir
mission, re (EVA) as she is Too-tiny to fit into the Russian eva spacesuit.
Dr. David Wolfe, a strapping 5`10" 185 pound guy will replace her. The
Big-Eating astronaut faces a light diet, as the food supplies on board were
for the Too-Tiny astronaut. Nasa says they have time to replace the food
canisters to accomadate the "meat and potatoes, sweet tooth" of Dr. Wolfe.
Nasa also says that Wendy Lawrence will be on that flight to Mir in middle
of September in the event Dr. Wolfe needs back-up. So what is Wendy to do,
if Dr. Wolfe needs back-up? Does she have to eat the rations of Dr. Wolfe ?
He prefers a meat potatoe diet,,,she prefers a light healthy diet. If Dr.
Wolfe cannot do the eva walk,,,will Wendy do the walk? Perhaps she will be
able to elongate her body by eating Dr. Wolfe`s rations, and thus fit into
the Russian space-suit. Too-Tiny,,,,give me a break.
Particia.
