Hello,

This is something I was previously unaware of. However, I'm surprised to hear that cancelling missions based on this problem is even a consideration.

If women don't experience the problem, then the solution is obvious. Women astronauts have just become more valuable than men, for purely physiological reasons.

Interesting in that from that entire video, only one line mentioned that men were affected, and that a solution needed to be found, or missions to Mars may be in jeopardy. All chick flight crews weren't even offered as an option. It was - 'get the ships there faster, and the problem should be avoided.'

If you read the thread "I" posted (Mars lost) NOBODY is going to Mars in the near or distant future thanks to you leftys, because making sure women get free abortions (Funded by US!) is more important then space exploation. The good news maybe is thanks to abortions and birth control you libs may become extinct and then we can spent more $ on exploation and less on killing liberal babys.

Hello Zit,

I think any rational person gave up on NASA when the shuttles were retired without a replacement. But this problem affects private corp attempts, too.

Mr. Raptor,

I was also surprised and disturbed that the obvious and easy solution of using female crews was not even posited.

Are we still a sexist society to such an irrational degree?

Soooo, it's not that the "meek" shall inherit the Earth, but that the Men!! shall inherit the earth- 'Cause we're outta here, baby!

Hubbs came up with that one

Could be they're thinking ahead to possible colonization, in which case breeding pairs of humans might factor in. But on the other hand, if they just had an all-female crew, they'd technically only need the sperm.

I wonder what the cause is. If it's something to do with no/low/er gravity then colonization on any no/low/er gravity place becomes a problem for males.

No/low/er gravity kinda makes sense. The hemodynamics of the human body are different without the pull of gravity, which is why heart failure people sleep on lots of pillows. Though what specifically the difference is between women and men I couldn't guess, other than to speculate it's probably hormonal. I don't think they've sent any menopausal women to the space station.

They mentioned something about pressure in the brain causing micro folds in back wall of the eye... seems to me that since women have more open space between the ears, there's much less of an effect of gravity, which means less pressure, so ... you see where this is going, right ?

Hey, you come up w/ a better explanation.

Yeah, I heard about this. I wonder if it's at all linked to mostly men being color blind? After all, we only have a small sampling thus far.

You are, of course, joking. You hadn't figured that out by now?

So long, and thanx for all the fish!
