I'm really surprised that Bob was bitching about this, considering it's
such
a small part of the Progress payload. The Russians have had a long
standing
tradition of sending up such morale boosting personal items to their
space
stations, so I'm sure they think it's
Not really as complaint, under normal circumstances I wouldnt of brought
it up.
But given the tight supply situation perhaps a space suit part might have
been
a better choice?
As Derek said in his replies, when times are tough, these morale boosting
materials are *more* important.
With weight at a premium on the LEM, you still thought that hitting a golf
ball on the moon was worth it. On such a short trip, the need for this (in
terms of morale) would be far less than on a six month stay on ISS.
