per your women comment, why would you knowingly put people up there who have inherently weaker bodies in terms of strength, and less ability to lose bone density?
we’ll be paying for their space-borne osteoporosis, you can count on that.

NASA chief rules out manned Moon mission in the foreseeable future
http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/7/4193424/nasa-administrator-charles-bolden-rules-our-manned-moon-mission
(excerpt)
NASA administrator Charles Bolden has dismissed the idea that the space agency will attempt another manned Moon mission. Speaking with contemporaries, Bolden said “NASA will not take the lead on a human lunar mission... probably in my lifetime.”
Bolden added that if the next administration reverses NASA’s decision it would set back the manned space program in its entirety. He warned that, should we divert resources towards a manned moon mission in the future, we would probably never “see Americans on the Moon, on Mars, near an asteroid, or anywhere” in our lifetimes, explaining that “we cannot continue to change the course of human exploration.”

four men and four women who will join the 49 active astronauts at the agencys astronaut corps at the Johnson Space Center in Houston
So now we have 53 astronauts, but no spaceships, and no missions. And they all have to fly four hours per week in T-38 trainers to maintain their qualification as ... wait for it ... aviators.

Paying for a space station and having to thumb rides to it is like building a nice home on an island and having your boat repoed.

Good thing all this diversity wasn't around when the Apollo 13 Mission was going. IMO the astronauts should be as physically capable as SEAL team members.
