Women survive space flights better than men, scientists say

Women may be more resilient to the stresses of spaceflight than men because they take longer to return to normal upon returning to Earth.

Women may be more resilient to the effects of space than men and recover more quickly upon return to Earth. The Guardian reported this.

A team of American scientists analyzed the immune system response to spaceflight of two women and two men who orbited Earth in 2021 as tourists as part of the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission. The results were compared with data from 64 other astronauts.

The study found that gene activity was more disrupted in males than in females. One of the affected proteins is fibrinogen, which is critical for blood clotting.

“Men appear to be more affected by spaceflight in almost all cell types and sizes,” the researchers wrote.

It’s not clear why women might be more resistant to spaceflight than men, but it’s suspected to be the ability to get pregnant.

“The ability to tolerate significant changes in physiology and fluid dynamics can be very beneficial not only for carrying a child to term, but also for coping with the stress of spaceflight on a physiological level,” said by study leader Christopher Mason.

However, further research and a larger sample are needed to confirm the results obtained.

It was earlier reported that Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh said that India plans to launch a female humanoid robot into space this year.
