Εκ γυναικός ερρύη τα φαύλα

Soyuz Capsule Misses the Mark on Landing

Later, Perminov was asked about the presence of two women on the Soyuz, and referred to a naval superstition that having women on a ship was bad luck.

"You know in Russia, there are certain bad omens about this sort of thing, but thank God everything worked out successfully," he said. "Of course, in the future, we will work somehow to ensure that the number of women will not surpass" the number of men.

Challenged by a reporter, Perminov said: "This isn't discrimination. I'm just saying that when a majority [of the crew] is female, sometimes certain kinds of unsanctioned behavior or something else occurs. That's what I'm talking about."

He did not elaborate.
