Between 1977 and 1981, three groups of American Women, numbering 27 in all,
between the ages of 35 and 65, were month, long tests to determine how they would respond to
conditions resembling those aboard the space shuttle.
Through carefully selected from among many applicants, the women were volunteers
and pay was barely above the minimum wage. They were not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol
during the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each others company at close quarters for the
entire period. Among other things, they had to stand pressure three times the force of gravity
and carry out both physical and mental tasks while exhausted from strenuous physical exercise.
At the end on ten day, they had to spend a further twenty days absolutely confined to bed, during
which time they suffered backaches and other discomforts, and they were finally allowed up, the
more physically active women were especially subject to paints due to a slight calcium loss.
Results of the tests suggest that women will have significant advantages over men in
space. They need less food and less oxygen and they stand up to radiation better. Mens
advantages in terms of strength and stamina, meanwhile, are virtually wiped out by the Zero

gravity condition in space.
