 thats was the name Lovelace gave the women who agreed to take the test. The women where checked out by Doctors, they gave them regular physicals and x-rays only because they did not what kind of stress they would be under. The women had to swallow a rubber tube, which is gross, so the Doctors could test their stomach acids. Doctors shot ice cold water in the womens ear so they could see how fast it recoved. They did a bunch of uncomfortable test on the women just they could see how fast things recoved then a man's body.
 * __Infromation__** William Randolph Lovelace (2) was helping make the test for NASA males and was wondering what if women took the same test as the males. He invited Geraldyn " Jerrie" Cobb, a test for women to see how they would be as astronauts. **Fellow Lady Astronaut Trainees** (FLATs)
