Space exploration gives us two options: a lengthy journey to another solar system or the more feasible option of Mars. A study suggests that all-female crews could offer advantages, as female astronauts require less water, energy, and food during missions. They experience less water loss during exercise and can make better use of confined spaces. These findings highlight the operational benefits and cost savings associated with all-female crews in future space exploration. Preview photo credit: NASA Animation is created by Bright Side.
