With weight at a premium on the LEM, you still thought that hitting a golf

The main problem on LMs was takeoff weight, obviously the golf ball was left
behind...

crew morale is certinally important, why not send up some dancin girls for
recreation

Anecdotally, the first Skylab crew were told that thanks to the fact
they were using a S-V launch, weight restrictions were flexible; there
would be an allocation of a couple of hundred pounds for entertainment
items and the like, and did they have any suggestions?

They were shortly asked for any *other* suggestions...
