NASA also does everything they can to save weight though.

On later Apollo missions, they cut the number of band-aids in the lunar lander's first aid kit from 6 to 12 to save weight.

Doubled the bandaids to save weight. I can see why the tampon thing was a struggle for them.

They're to replace the tampons

I see here is the problem. The guy doesn't know how to reduce weight, you don't add more stuff to cut on weight. That explains the extra tampons.

I'm a government employee, so it makes sense that even my efficiency programs create bloat.
