report claims that all-female crews would be the best option, as women work better as a team

Only in opposite world.

[Savage Beast]

Uh....what’s going to keep the females from having sex with each other?

[2banana]

Why not married for 25+ years couples?

[dforest]

Dancing with myself comes to mind. LOL

[Savage Beast]

...or with themselves?

1. I don’t think there is anything wrong (in terms of mission) with sex in space.

2. In any case, I’m skeptical on women working together better than men in a confined environment while under constant pressure.

3. If they don’t want sex to happen, NASA can just send married couples. There’s nothing like wedding cake for putting an end to sex.

>as women work better as a team, and are less likely than men to fight over who is the leader.<

Whoever wrote this crap has obviously never been around all-female ‘teams’. They devour each other.

Ms Sharman has never seen the report herself, but suggests that it was filed 'some years ago.'

In other words, pure bunk.

[Tallguy]

NO way! The Brits and the USN both put women on combat ships, and the US puts them on submarines and NOTHING of a Sexual nature ever occurs! (Smirk)

lol I am female and I even know better! Women can be catty and nastier than most men and, just as competitive. smh

Most women do have a libido, although they seem better than most men at suppressing it.
Most women I know have an ego too. Often seen as a desire to control. On this, they are fully equal with men.
Envy of someone else’s status can be a very strong motivator.

Females don’t have sex with each other? Don’t tell the lesbians.

< snort >

Yeah. Right.

Bullsnot!

“women...are less likely than men to fight over who is the leader”

Here is another excuse that Hillary can use...

Menstruation.

[BlackAdderess]

As the Mars mission is a suicide mission, and everyone signing on has to give their assent to the fact that THEY WILL DIE, this makes perfect sense since a baby resulting from sex in space would be condemned to death.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Send Rosie O’Donnell.

[mrsmith]

The intent is not to avoid sex but to avoid procreation.
Better, and wiser, to put infant supplies on board.

[glorgau]

Meow, cat fights in space!

[Snickering Hound]

571 days from Earth, and still can't find Helen Sharman attractive...

[discostu]

Got news for them. Zero-g on zero-g action will be happening no matter what the gender mix. Just like prison, a year and a half locked up like that people will totally go gay for the stay.
