After an “incident” with the first astronaut fitted for the device, the UCD’s designations were changed from “Small, Medium, Large” to “Large,” “Extra Large,” and “Extra-Extra Large.”
I knew it. Serious issues that still persists to this day.
- smallerize 6mo agoI would like to know what their source is, because different people have different names. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/spacesuit-envy/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/spacesuit-envy/ Same general idea though.
- adrian_b 6mo agoThe labels L, XL and XXL given in the parent article are more plausible than those from your link. Moreover at your link it is even stated that those given there might be nicknames, not the official designations. As you say, the essence is the same regardless which were the actual names. Moreover, while this is a story about males fantasizing themselves as being large, a similar story, but in reverse, is told about the labels used in US female clothes, where, due to the increase in average weight of the population, the larger sizes have been renamed as smaller sizes, because overweight customers were reluctant to buy the clothes labeled as extra-extra-large that they actually needed.
