Also can't be shorter than 5'4"...or so they 'said'!

My wife is 5'2"...and during a tour of Houston's Johnson Space Center a few years back she asked the 'requirements' on height.:$

Told the cut-off for the low side was 5'4"...she questioned why. :)

They guy said that the seats in the shuttle, patterned some what after those in the 747, were designed to compensate only so much and that like in a Boeing 747, there were set size requirements.

My wife pulled out her pilots license with a 747 type rating......"Wanna BET?!" she said.:ph34r:
