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.

Maybe they can send the ladies from the view...

Women, not men, should form the crew of the first personned mission to Mars...

There's a porno movie plot in there somewhere.

Ya see how they all look over at the conservative beauty with total disdain?

[MeganC]

They have to send at least one man who knows how to use duct tape. Lives are at stake here!

[kosciusko51]

I have a feeling that the 4th week of the trip will be a real doozy...

General “Buck” Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn’t that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
Ambassador de Sadesky: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

I don’t remember a movie, but there was a story with that title in a book of sci-fi that I read as a kid...

[bigbob]

This would have been a good plot for a sci-fi short story...

[lentulusgracchus]

PBS is running a series, Makers, in which women are just better than men at anything you can think of, and have just been done so badly to, by those icky, meanspirited moral-midgetty MEN!!. Ahhhhhhh!

The ineffably treacly and turgid Chistiaaaaaane Amanpouuuur narrates and bloviates 100% simon-pure Betty Friedan/Communist propaganda.

[Robert DeLong]

That’s the look of jealousy & envy.

Who will open the pickle jars?

[VanDeKoik]

I think I’m just gonna back out of this thread real slow like...

*runs screaming. Jumps out window*

[smokingfrog]

Who’s going to take out the trash?

[AlaskaErik]

Ms Greene should go to her local Wal-Mart and check all the women who eat less.

[Defiant]

That explains why the grays are all short and skinny. They eat less.

[camle]

‘pseudo-naut’ or pseudo-nut?
