Re: Children growing up on Mars - ..problems and possible solutions...

Then its just a matter of design and child proofing. How for example, do you prevent your children from driving away with the family car and getting into a traffic accident? There is something called an ignition key, and only the person who has it can start the car. What I'm saying is that a door that leads to the outside will have a similar device, you can't get out without the key. The key might be a physical key, or it might be a combination, a finger print or whatever, but the child won't have it. Also we'll probably have computers that are smart enough not to let someone through the airlock if he's not wearing a space suit or its not properly sealed.

How fast they will grow out of their Spaceboots?

Women in space analogues demonstrate more sustainable leadership

A new study based on Mars Desert Research Station commanders' reports reveals differences in female and male leadership behaviour. Although both genders are task-focused, women tend to be more positive. The genders also differ in their approach toward their team - while men focus on accomplishments, women emphasise mutual support. According to the author of the study, Inga Popovaite, a sociologist at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) in Lithuania, the findings suggest that women may be better suited for long-term space missions.

According to the researcher, as of 2021, only three women have served as commanders in the International Space Station during two decades of its operations. Although the space is becoming more diverse, little is known about gender differences in leadership in isolated, confined, and extreme environments.

Rats were flown on Shuttle missions for the second half of their pregnancy, and the offspring were born healthy, although naturally with some neurovestibular differences due to microgravity adaption.
“ Within 48-72 hrs following landing, the rat dams that contributed offspring to the postnatal studies gave birth to healthy offspring.”

other studies indicate that a human fetus is not neutrally buoyant during the latter half of pregnancy and likely needs to experience its weight to develop properly:
