Women, not men, should form the crew of the first personned mission to Mars, according to boffin and pretend NASA-naut Kate Greene.
Greene, the crew writer for one of NASA’s HI-SEAS (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation) pretendy Martian mission, said in an article for Slate that female astronauts are better equipped for the trip to the Red Planet, and would cost a lot less to send there.
During her own simulation, she blogged her experience and also ran a sleep study on participants using sensor armbands from BodyMedia, which also provided estimates of daily and weekly caloric expenditure. According to these wearables, the three female crew members expended less than half of the calories of their male counterparts, despite exercising for roughly the same amount of time.

Well, I had heard that NASA had studied the issue of sexual behavior on long term space missions such as a trip to Mars. There was a feeling that things might happen with mixed male and female crews.
Without a man on the trip, who will they blame when things go wrong?
I have contended for years that dwarfs should be our astronauts. Half the food half the waste half the space and on and on.

It's a good idea, but will they be able to reach all of the controls?
In an astronaut autobio, one of the TFNG class, he went up with one of the first women (who later died on Challenger).
So after they reach orbit, they're checking everything out, and the woman starts plucking the tampons out of the dispenser, commenting about being totally dessicated by only a small percentage of what NASA provisioned, if she had need of them.
Been years since I heard any mention of him...
