How about 'too difficult to
staff the helium tank?
Language is slipping again around the use of the word 'man' and 'manned'. If you want a booth manned then you are looking for men. If you want it staffed, then you can find anyone who is willing to volunteer at the booth.
Manned space flight...........how about piloted space flight?

language is important..........
