Future space missions could use all-female crews because they are more ‘efficient’
Future space missions could use all-female crews because they are more ‘efficient’
Future space missions might use all-female crews because they are more “efficient”, a new study has suggested. Many space agencies around the world are already preparing for the first human trips to Mars and perhaps other planets. But those trips will be incredibly resource-intensive, with the food and other material required to support a crew over years being an important consideration. One way to minimise that demand on resources would be to send all-female crews, a new study conducted by the European Space Agency suggests. It found that female astronauts would be likely to need less water to stay hydrated, expend less energy, need less oxygen and carbon dioxide and produce less heat than their male counterparts. That in turn would require less space to store the equipment needed to allow those astronauts to live, and therefore make the journey theoretically easier for engineers. The exact difference between a male and female crew would depend on the stature and other details of the astronauts that were chosen. But in all situations, the all-female crew were found to use less energy. That was because they are lighter than their male counterparts, and tend to use less oxygen when they are exercising. The difference remained true even when the astronauts were modelled as if they were engaging in the kind of exercise that astronauts have done on the International Space Station, which is required to ensure they stay fit and healthy without the usual gravity on Earth. The fact that women also tend to be smaller would be another advantage the scientists note, since it would mean that engineers would be able to build them smaller space habitat modules. “There may be a number of operational advantages to all-female crews during future human space exploration missions,” the team conclude in a new paper. The work was theoretical and used already published data on female astronauts and physiological research. The research is published in a new paper, ‘Effects of body size and countermeasure exercise on estimates of life support resources during all-female crewed exploration missions’, in Scientific Reports.

Two Americans found dead in luxurious Baja California Sur hotel as family suspects carbon monoxide poisoning
Two Americans found dead in luxurious Baja California Sur hotel as family suspects carbon monoxide poisoning
Two Americans were found dead in a hotel room in Baja Sur California, a Mexican state, on Tuesday (13 June), according to reports. The two people were discovered in the Hotel Rancho Pescadero in the seaside town of El Pescadero around 9pm local time on Tuesday. Paramedics received a report of the two Americans were unconscious but by the time they arrived, the two were unresponsive with no vital signs, according to ABC News. The Baja California Sur Attorney’s General Office told ABC News the two Americans were identified as John Heathco, 41, and Abby Lutz, 28. Lutz is from Newport Beach, California. In a statement posted on Facebook, police said they suspected their cause of death was “poisoning” as there were no traces of physical violence. However, authorities are still determining what “substance” caused their deaths. The two had been dead “between 10 and 11 hours” before they were found. US officials told Associated Press they were “aware of the case.” According to a GoFundMe, started by one of Lutz’s family members, Lutz and Heathco were on a couple’s trip together to Mexico when they began to feel sick and assumed they had food poisoning. The two went to the hospital for treatment and started feeling better. But then their families received a phone call saying the couple had “passed away peacefully in their hotel room in their sleep.” “We have been told it was due to improper venting of the resort and could be carbon monoxide poisoning,” the GoFundMe caption reads. The Hotel Ranco Pescadero is a luxury hotel and a Hyatt property. In a statement provided to The Independent, Henar Gil, the general manager of Rancho Pescadero said: “We are truly heartbroken by this terrible tragedy. Our hearts are with the impacted families and loved ones during this unimaginable loss.” “Local authorities are still actively investigating the situation, and the safety and security of our guests and colleagues remains a top priority, as always. We can confirm there was no evidence of violence related to this situation, and we are not aware of any threat to guests’ safety or wellbeing. We are working to care for those who have been impacted and we are working closely with authorities as they conduct their investigation to understand the cause of death. Further inquiries should be directed to local authorities.” El Pescadero is a town located between Todos Santos and the resort of Los Cabos in Baja California Sur which is on the Baja California Peninsula.
