The rockets and spacecraft would be much smaller and less expensive. plus they wouldn't need to take so much food and water.

Forgive me, but I had a bad experience with a little person once. She hung out in the coffee house I go to and every time I saw her, she asked if she could borrow money. Finally, I asked her why she always hit me up and she said she was a little short.

The buttons will be too hard to reach on the roof.

Also along a similar note, Why do giraffes have such long necks?















































































Because their heads are so far away from their bodies.

I think OP is on to something. By scaling everything down by two-thirds, we'd save billions in the space program.

Yep, NASA can send a Shuttle full of midgets in the payload, and later send a couple of monkeys, a lion, an elephant, a bunch of clowns, light some fancy lamps on ISS and entertain the aliens with the first orbital circus of Earth.

There is a significant difference between a midget and a dwarf. What is it?

No. A midget is a perfectly proportioned human in miniature. A dwarf has a larger head and hips.

Re: ****** Why doesn't NASA use midgets as astronauts ? ******
NASA actually considered this way back when the space age was just starting. They also considered circus performers like trapeze artists because of their physical dexterity and super muscular condition.

But they settled on test pilots because of their superior nerves and inate ability to fly things. True.
