I vote Hillary Clinton the first woman to be sent to Mars!
And left there.

Too close. Let's put Jupiter between us and her.

I think it would be quicker and cheaper to just send her to Mars, and then put TED KENNEDY in orbit between us and her.
Same effect, big ball of gas separating Hitlery and Earth.

Women are tougher than men. No doubt about it.
I have no desire to spend weeks/months/years inside a refrigerator.
Have at it, girls.

Well I will just volunteer to be the only guy up there with all women. I know it's a tough row to hoe, what with heart disease and all. But it's the least I can do for my fellow man.

John Glenn called women astronauts "90 pounds of recreational equipment"

To: tbird5
In particular, men in their thirties and forties are much more likely to develop the first signs of heart diseaseMost space travellers will be robots. They probably won't last as long and be as reliable as human astronauts, but they will be cheaper and won't have to return to earth to cash the paycheck.

1. somebody needs to clean the capsule
2. they would love the lack of "gravity"
3. most are used to living in "space" already

The problem with send a woman to the moon is that she'd insist on stopping and asking for directions.

But the toilet seat will always be down.
To: TheRatHunter
I don't know about that approach being cheaper. It'll take a lot of thrust to get something that big into orbit. We could be looking at a SkyLab situation there.

And ever 28 days the ship and crew will come within a hair's breadth of self-destruction.

I don't know much about the physics of space, but what if he came back into our orbit? The crash could be enough to wipe out all of humanity...
