Hello,
I'm interested in finding out about the age limitations for
Astronauts. A friend recently informed me that he had heard that NASA
was interested in sending infants into space for some type of
research. I am totally against sending babies into space. I don't
think that they have the necessary training and math skills to
survive. I thought my friend was just pulling my leg about this.
Please let me know that NASA is not planning on using baby astronauts
because I am against that.
Thanks,
TP

Babies would not even survive the trip into space. If babies can die
by sleeping on their face how can a baby tolerate liftoff? And even if
they survive in space diaper changes will be a mess. Babies can let go
at any time. Globules of urine will dodged by the irrate astronauts
for days to come. Although zero G would make it easier to pass the
baby to someone else.

Your friend probably got confused from watching 2001 Space Odyssey.
