The National Science Foundation, the federal agency that oversees the U.S. Antarctic Program, published a report in 2022 in which 59% of women said they’d experienced harassment or assault while on the ice, and 72% of women said such behavior was a problem in Antarctica.
But the problem goes beyond the harassment, The Associated Press found. In reviewing court records and internal communications, and in interviews with more than a dozen current and former employees, the AP uncovered a pattern of women who said their claims of harassment or assault were minimized by their employers, often leading to them or others being put in further danger.
Lol and people want to talk about Mars missions.
We are so fucked.
Only possible if you do an all female mission imo.
All male mission -> they kill each other
Mixed mission -> they kill the women and probably themselves after
Women also suffer fewer negative effects from prolonged exposure to microgravity
How much exactly are those ‘fewer’ negative effects. Micro Gravity is but a tiny obstacle to the forces we need to overcome in terms of long distance space travel. I’d be more concerned with cosmic rays, waves, and radiation just sweeping by and lethal dosing everyone without warning.
Visual impairment mostly (visual impairment intracranial pressure syndrome). Severe cases have only been observed in men
Never heard of this, do you have a source?
