Scott Ott vexes me with this one: a study apparently shows that an all-female crew would cut significantly on consumables and have other weight (actually mass) savings as well. But what if they left something out of their equations?

You mean to tell me these people are able to define what a women is, lol
If the goal is diversity, the crew should include one gay, one trans, one black, one asian, one hispanic, one indigenous person from each continent, one tall, one short, one skinny, one 'healthy at any size', one bald, and one disabled person.. and then one straight man to do the work and take the blame when the spaceship explodes in space.
Have you ever worked at an all-female workplace? If you have, you know why this won't work.
When I saw the picture I thought they were talking about invasion of the bikini lesbian Martians babes.
If you want to save on the payload, they should be a whole crew of midgets!
The smart money is on landing a few spaceships with supplies before we actually send people. Therefore space is not as big an issue.
An Estrogen rich environment is highly toxic to males. All males would perish in an Estrogen rich environment…
But what if the men identify as women?
The logistics argument is at least grounded in the math and reality of the situation. Going to Moon and Mars: hard. Going there with people? Harder.
Would never happen. Every 10 minutes one of them would say "could you pull over at the next gas station".
I'M FOR IT! SEND ALL THE KARENS AND TRANNIES!! ONE WAY!! ๐ฌ
Those "Scientist" never watched an episode Bear Grills' island survivor series with men on one island and women on a "sister" island. There are times when the women make it out good, but rarely on their own without some manner of assist. And when talking organization\structure and team work, the ladies rarely pass muster due to the power struggle. Bill has it right, send the best, but it would likely be mostly men, and the social consequence of men and women will be the next hurdle because people are going to people; time until peopling is the question.
But I ain't one to gossip… .
Did you guys see the Male vs Female Survivorโฆ?
The female only team would be doomed.
How about a body positive trip to Mars?
If we ever colonize Mars, we'll need both sexes. Until then, crews need to be single-sex to prevent social/sexual problems and pregnancies, and groups of men typically get along better than groups of women.
Resource requirements are a legitimate concern, but women also need more hygiene products than men, so that offsets some of the advantages. Unless, of course, the women all have hysterectomies, in which case, it might actually make more sense to send all women. Having a female crew sterilized will also prevent a lot of the social problems that arise in groups of women
Hey, in five years it will all be men in dresses and make up anyway, so this is pretty much a moot point.
Oh my gosh! I worked in an office of about 15 women. It was hell! They would kill each other in the first 30 days. LOL Bill just said the same thing!!
An all women anything sounds awful. Never ending discussions about who hurt whose feelings! ๐ณ
A female crew may use up less oxygen but they are likely to put out more carbon dioxide, if you know what I mean… ๐
An all women space crew headed to Mars? I think Cinemax made that film back in the early 2000s and showed it exclusively after 1am…
This Martian maiden looks a treat!
But top-to-toe she's sixteen feet!
So hard-luck spaceman there's no joy,
When giant girl meets six-foot boy.
Iโve got the perfect crew do the first trip to Mars: telephone sanitizers, hair dressers, account executives, tired TV producers and any other redundant population: or they could make up a crew of men 5โ4โ and under. Itโs my understanding they canโt get any dates.
The pioneers that go to Mars must be the best that we have. Any of those who follow can be as diverse as they like, but they will be standing on the work that the first have done.
Buzz pushed in the broken circuit breaker with a pen.
Hahahaha and when the women get there what advantages do you get from shaving 20% off oxygen, calories and water?
Men will do 500% more work and never argue over the decor.
Not only does all women crew consume less consumables, they also cost less on the salary front – a female astronaut earn 30%less than a male astronaut.
If you let the government pick the astronauts, there would be a trannie, a climate change spokesperson and a one world globalist.
Send short guys, the original Mercury astronauts had to be shorter than 6 feet in order to fit the capsule.
Split tails use more toilet paper.
Being at sea with women blows. Doing anything in the military with women blows. They get special rules, make excuses, get pandered to, they don't work as hard or as much and inevitably some are screwing a lot of people. If a guy did that you put a foot in his ass and bam we're done. Not for a woman. Half the time they cry. The drama of having accommodate them is a pain.
SpaceX is planning on an 80 day (2.5 month ) journey during "mars opposition", when earth is positioned between mars and the sun. In the past, electronics needed to be designed to fit the available space, with Starship they will use off the shelf components because it's so f*cking big. The savings of sex differences will be negligible compared to other concerns, like big tanks of water to absorb radiation.
The wardrobe needs would outweigh all the other savings.
If we want to save resources per body, why not send midgets? These three gentlemen have the argument well in hand. We send the people who are best suited for the job.
Women are much better at spotting emotions including emotions that don't exist.
They have an excellent ability to fight with each other.
and what about the weight of tampons?
I think all of the hosts on THE VIEW should be chosen for the trip.
Here's where the trans-jenders come it.
Women are not better at Multi-tasking, they have superior Communication Skills, like Code Breakers.
