And all I can think of now is dog shit in zero gravity...

“Some women, Commander Norton had decided long ago, should not be allowed aboard ship; weightlessness did things to their breasts that were too damn distracting. It was bad enough when they were motionless; but when they started to move, and sympathetic vibrations set in, it was more than any warm-blooded male should be asked to take.”
Arthur C. Clarke,
Rendezvous with Rama.
In his autobiography Mike Collins also said something about female crew in zero-gravity conditions, but in a rather cruder way.

So, what did Collins say?

Widely quoted in Wikipedia and elsewhere:
“No need to carry bras into space, that’s for sure. Imagine a spacecraft of the future, with a crew of a thousand ladies, off f o r A l p h a C e n t a u r i , w i t h 2,000 breasts bobbing beautifully and quivering delightfully in response to every weightless movement ... and I am the commander of the craft, and it is Saturday morning and time for inspection, naturally”.
Ouch.

Thanks, I searched but couldn’t find it. A man of his time, but seemingly still of this time, at least in certain circles.
