In Space, No One Knows You Read Vogue

I guess Tito nor Shuttleworth were cute enough for Valery Korzun. May I suggest Courreges or Gaultier for space-suit designer? I'll leave the weight allowance jokes as an exercise for the reader.

    It seems Russian astronauts are trolling for supermodels as passengers for their space program.

    It makes good sense. In terms of payload, probably you can send 2 supermodels for same weight as Tito.

    ATTN NASA:
    Maybe sending me up the space is not such a bad idea. (A gnome shorter than 5'3" who can use both micropipette and computer program. )
