Mars missions ‘should be all-female’ to avoid sex and fighting in space, NASA report says

A secret report created by NASA has suggested that any Mars mission should be single-sex – and ideally all-female.

The secret report was revealed today by British astronaut, Helen Sharman, who said it was filed some years ago.

Sharman claims that the report suggests the Mars mission should be single-sex, as it’s liable to last a year and a half – and that all-female crews work better as a team.

Ms Sharman said: ‘I did hear some years ago that there was a report.

‘Nasa has never released it, but it was done to see exactly the kind of crew makeup was necessary for the reason we have already alluded to.

‘It found that the crew should be the same gender: all men or all women.’

Sharman told an audience at the Excel centre that NASA concluded that an all-female crew would be better as women were ‘more collaborative’ and men would squabble over who was ‘the leader’.
