If a woman with the "right stuff" emerges, fine but surely it's unscientific to decree that the first person on Mars will be a woman.

Maybe it needs a polish and a dusting, before vacuuming ..... far too much for any man to accomplish??

[youngmafbog]

It is very dusty up there.

Perhaps the aliens need some cooking done too?

What a really stupid news item

[youngmafbog]

On a more serious note I am more than happy a woman goes first or at any time, providing she is the best of ALL candidates.

[youngmafbog]

It's not really stupid is it WR? It is yet another story that shows discrimination is rife and we are away from equality.

[ludwig]

Yeah, why not. There's no 'best' person to be the first on Mars. There'll be a whole bunch of suitable candidates so why shouldn't it be a woman, seeing as they never got a look in on the Moon.
Sigourney Weaver would be a good choice.

It is all crinkly as well. Needs ironing no doubt.

Who will park the Mars rover?

Which suggests Ron has not read the Link, just the Title

[whiskeryron]

Wrist has been well & truly slapped.

[emmie]

hopefully they will find the person with the Right Stuff as they have in the past, whether its a woman or a man, they will have grit that's for sure..

[Baldric]

Ron ;o)
