In the future, only female crews can be sent into space.

Crew support over the years will be an important factor in planning expeditions. One way to save resources could be to send all-female crews. It turned out that they will need less water, energy and oxygen than their male counterparts.

Women scientists receive fewer grants than men.

In addition, they rarely receive second grants to continue their scientific work. The authors of the report analyzed data from 55 grant award studies published between 2005 and 2020. They cover more than 1.3 million applications worldwide. The analysis also showed that Europe was friendlier to female scientists, giving them about 6% more bonuses than funding agencies in the US. This is likely the result of a more active gender equality policy.
