TL;DR

A new study by the European Space Agency suggests that the first human mission to Mars should be an all-female crew as they are more efficient in space. The study found that women use less oxygen, produce less carbon dioxide, and require less food than men. The researchers simulated a 1080-day mission with four women astronauts and found they needed 3,736 pounds less food, saving more than $158 million. NASA is set to launch a human mission to Mars in the 2030s and is determined to put the first female astronaut on the moon in two years.
