	I think that the Soviets decided to name the craters after the women
only because they (or the International Astronomical Union) decided to use
women's names for formations on the planet Venus.
	Personally, I ****don't**** think naming the moons after the seven
astronauts is a  good idea. If we want to remember the seven astronomically, 
perhaps other formations elsewhere or, not as good an idea, planetoids.
