(Eric Chomko) made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: : While you were bragging about your abilities I'd be fixing the ship. : Now there's a genuinely frightening thought (though I rarely "brag : about my abilities"--perhaps you could provide a cite or two?). With you as captain, the term "mutiny" comes to mind. Thanks. I knew you couldn't. |

I've said it before, Rand would have made a fine Russian, especially in the old USSR. Yes, the archives are full ro brimming of idiotic things you've said before. |

"John Doe" wrote in message news:1108365776.18e20a69e1db16349c012f94e475895f@t eranews... For a trip the duration of the Mars expedition, does it make a difference ? Woudldn't they need to find way to deal with calcium loss even for men ? And if they do find a way to stabilize calcium level on men, wouldn't that also work for women with just different dosage of whatever they do ? THe Russians have a "penguin suit"- would the placement of weights in and around the suit help, similar to the use of weights while power walking? While it wouldn't eliminate the need for exercise, it should provide some benefit, and the weights could be removed when they would cause problems. A constant small stress has got to provide some benefit. This isn't Star Trek. You can't ignore toilets and sexual issues, and you can't garantee that all crew members will get along wonderfully and constantly sport smiles and never complain about workload or food for 1.5 years in closed quarters. There are issues and they need to be dealt with. Examine the use of women on US naval vessels. We have a case where women were introduced into a formerly all-male environment, and an environment requiring extended periods of confinement. This should certainly provide some insights. |

But women need Mars, just as men do.

A constant small stress has got to provide some benefit. Astronauts and cosmonauts who've used the "penguin suits" really dislike them. I take it the idea of the weights is to force them to move mass around with their movements; how about a suit that contained springs to work against instead? Alternately, one with air pressurized tubes that would take effort to move, thereby using the stiffness problem of pressure suits to one's advantage? Pat |
