With the right training these people could be heroes and boost the 
self-esteem of short people everywhere! (including myself at 5'3") It 
really is a shame that no one has seriously considered such a proposal. 
It makes an incredible amount of sense but NASA would rather worry about 
"offending" short folks. Have you ever considered getting some small 
people to buy in on this and then build a proposal to release to the media?
