Hello,
Since the astronauts are the pilots of rockets, I think my question is
well placed in this email list.
At the beginning of the Apollo project, I think every pound count. So I
was wondering if the astronaut has to lose weight to get the last
missing pounds? I got this question when I saw documentation about
Apollo 11. Michael Collins looks really thin on this footage.
The second question I get was about the body size. Smaller astronauts
mean smaller capsules. I know the size limitation for Russian cosmonauts.
So, does anybody have a document with the body size and mass of the
Apollo astronauts?
Greetings
Neil
