Eight Years Before Women Fly
CAPE KENNEDY Fla AP five women who lived two weeks on the bottom of the sea boost hopes that lipstick and powderpuffs will be standard aboard American spaceships. But NASA says eight or nine years before a woman flies in a U S spacecraft. The agency plans Earth orbiting stations later this decade with up to 50 people aboard where women will work if qualified in medical or scientific fields. The question of women in Space arose when five female scientists and technicians won awards as the first woman team to live and work underwater during Tektite II in Great Lameshur Bay Virgin Islands. They stayed from July 6 to 20, living 50 feet deep and diving for marine life.
