The European Space Agency released an image taken by its Mars Express mission showing the Korolev crater filled with water ice. The crater is more than 50 miles across and located just south of the Red Planet's northern polar cap. https://t.co/HOT1uVhNKG pic.twitter.com/SSJv5HC0jy

Mars has less gravity, so wome can do the heavy lifting, and women are lighter than men so the help in fuel consumption, food requirements, water reserves. Like firefighting for men, this is actually something that women will be more beneficial doing, and should therefor do it.
Generally men and women think differently as well. How do you think an all women crew would be compared to an all men crew in regards to the social aspect? They're going to be confined to close quarters for pretty much the entire mission and if I understand correctly the first mission is a one way trip as well.

I doubt the first trip is one way. I really don't think that reality show trip to mars will happen while we are alive, nasa will send its best, and they will want them back. They will know what their goals are before they leave, and they will have a direct chain of command in the field when they aren't taking orders from ground control. They aren't going there to start our new civilization, they will be going there to see if it is a usable planet for us or if we have to jump to a moon in the jovian system.
I think the insanity will come during the flight there, and back.

Well I haven't been paying much attention to this topic lately but a year or two ago it sounded like the consensus was that the first trip to Mars was likely a one way mission in a sense that they would not be coming back with what got them there.
