Geoffrey Miller on Twitter: "For movies filmed in space, smaller stars may be better. Tom Cruise (5'7", c. 150 lbs?) can be sent into orbit for only about half the rocket fuel of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (6'5", c. 260 lbs?). The future belongs to those who are highly capable but also highly compact?… https://t.co/T9qGKKSQpe"

  On a tangentially curious note, (compact) women make better fighter pilots than men. High G-forces draw more blood from the extremes of taller people.

  Spacecraft mass dominates, the ~50kg astronaut mass difference doesn't matter. Smaller might still be better just because it makes the station interior look larger, more volume available for whatever the acting is, etc. Seats are 50-100M$ a pop, though, and they need at least 2.

  Do you think that current way of putting things into orbit with its high sensitivity for mass of cargo will remain the only option for that much longer?
