Question
99. Katherine worked on the Project Mercury team. Engineers concluded that the spacecraft and the astronauts had to meet certain requirements to successfully be launched into space. What were those requirements? Group of answer choices A: Researchers concluded that the spacecraft had to be needle-like structure and shaped like a bottle; the astronauts could not be taller than 5' 11" and weigh less than 160 lbs, be a test pilot younger than thirty years, and hold at least a bachelor's degree. B: The spacecraft had to be a needle-shaped structure that could handle the reentry heat; the astronauts had to be taller than 5' 11" and weigh less than 180 lbs, plus be a qualified test pilot under forty years of age with a masters degree. C: Researchers concluded that the spacecraft had to be shaped like a cork, and small enough to have a crew of five astronauts, who were qualified test pilots under forty years of age with at least a bachelor's degree. D: The spacecraft had to be small and shaped like a cork; the astronauts could not be taller than 5' 11," had to weigh less than 180 lbs, and be a qualified test pilot younger than forty years, with at least a bachelor's degree.
