Inspired by our colleagues over at Smithsonian, who aim to answer the burning question “Who Had the Best Civil War Facial Hair,” we decided to run our own contest: Who Has the Worst Zero-Gravity Hair?”
Every day is a bad hair day in space, or a good one depending on your aesthetic. Vote below to tell us which of the astronauts in the gallery has the most out-of-this-world hairdo. Pictured: Karen Nyberg on the space station during the STS-124 mission in 2008.

This new barcode scanning feature in Air & Space is fantastic.
I would like to have seen all of the 'thumbprints' appear before individual photos, to act as an index. I scrolled thru all pics, forwards and backwards before I found thumbprints. Touching picture simply advanced to next rather than zoom in/out. Also, 'previous/next' are too close to picture - I sometimes touched picture when I really to move 'previous/next'.
Thanks for including this advancement in technology in Air & Space - this makes an already amazing magazine so much better.

"Hair Cuts In Space" gets the nod.
Manscaping in space must be a real hassle, too.

Karen Nyberg has a beautiful blonde hair, regardless of gravity... the other ones are indeed forgettable :)
