CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla (Reuter) - The Russian space station Mir
is likely to be cleaned more often after an American woman astronaut
arrives there for an extended stay next week, a top Russian space
official said Tuesday.
The fans aboard Mir ``will be taken care of in a more timely
manner because we know that women love to clean,'' said Gen. Yuri
Glazkov, deputy commander of Russia's Gargarian Cosmonaut Training
Center.
