Seems some people truly thought of their bodies as tools sometimes (even in storage capacity) hehe. Neat what a change in perspective can teach you. | |

The steak and eggs diet was useful to jet pilots doing long flights in single-seaters well prior to project Mercury; the collection devices were used on the Gemini flights which progressively increased mission length from 5 hours to two weeks. | |
