Frankly, given:

1. Their lower mass
2. Their better 3D spatial awareness (I read this somewhere)
3. Their superior multi-tasking abilities,

perhaps all astronauts should be female?
I not only hear you, but I'm with you. The thought that brought my comments to the page was remembering something I read somewhere about guys being twice as likely to misplace their keys than women.

"Honey! Have you seen my keys? I"m late for work again..."

"Try your pants pocket, dear."

"Oh, yeah. There they are..."

If I set the budget, we'd have Ares and more. Unfortunately, I don't set the budget, and Ares is just too expensive and too far out for us to accomplish our goals within the budget we were given.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
