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. |

By scaling everything down by two-thirds, we'd save billions in the space program. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1260746Yep, 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.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1260746The midget is faster. No. A midget is a perfectly proportioned human in miniature. A dwarf has a larger head and hips. |

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. |
