She has left the space program and now takes part in various women's peace groups and Soviet friendship organizations. Today there are no females among the 50 or so cosmonauts in training at the Gagarin Cosmonauts Training Center at Star City, the home of the Soviet cosmonauts. Much of what the Soviets have done with women in space consists of showcase stunts. They picked Savitskaya for a spacewalk and they knew ahead of time that Kathy Sullivan was scheduled to perform a spacewalk for three hours and 30 minutes. At a minimum, women are equal to men in space.
Women are actually better at some space tasks than men.
They are better at dealing with precision tasks. They are more meticulous. They are more flexible at switching from one task to another. Men, of course, are better where heavy exertion is required. I could agree with her then.
