Has there been discussions on who to send on a "man"ned mission? Apollo had height and weight limitations for an average male, and now that DEI is dead, I wonder if it's more prudent to proritize sending smaller people (really light women) because sexual dimorphism seems to be a thing in the military.
Women tend to be substantially more susceptible to radiation related issues. [1] In reality though I think the main issue (outside of competence/merit) will be making sure people stay psychologically sound being tens of millions of miles away from Earth, for years. So in that case I wouldn't be surprised if they end up prioritizing highly capable couples.
I think if long term supplies bottleneck, one would pick for physiology that requires less, i.e. 100lb person consumes ~50-60% calories as 200lb person. Or for same supplies you get much more brains/work done. Light lesbians with no need to worry about pregnacy fits the bill.
