Vagina MuseumSally Ride was the first American woman and first lesbian in space, first flying in 1983. Before she flew, NASA weren't really sure what a woman in space might need, so suggested providing her with 100 tampons. For a six day mission.
Ride's first space flight took place more than 20 years after cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space. Part of NASA's delay in sending a woman to space was that they were worried menstrual blood would flow backwards in microgravity, wreaking all sorts of havoc.
Bimbo@vagina_museum Could menstrual blood not provide some form of propulsion perhaps?
