One of the biggest challenges as muscular depletion begins to take effect reality don’t need to e as big in space human body is the first to take on the mesomorphs of muscle depletion . Extended weightlessness degrades the muscles and bones of astronauts so thoroughly that by the time they get to Mars, they may not have the strength to walk on it a study also examines.

The potentially dangerous medical and social repercussions of sexual relations between astronauts with pregnancy in space and the first baby to be born on the martian planet the federal agency. For example, on Australian stations in the Antarctic seven pregnancies were recorded between 1989 and 2006 (Ayton 2006), although "no one wants to become pregnant down there, no one wishes a baby to be born down there" (Bowden 1999). The general belief is that pregnancy in the Antarctic poses increased risk to the mother, to her unborn child, to the team, and to the success of the expedition program (Ayton 2006). Nevertheless, women team members, regardless of nationality, become pregnant. In fact, just having women as members of the team in the Antarctic can cause significant sexual tension and stress for both men and women (Palinkas 2002; Rosnet et al., 2004; Stuster 1996). Some men harass females for sex, women will behave seductively, sexual frustrations increase, and romantic rivalries develop. Moreover, women in these settings are perceived by men and women alike as having tremendous sexual power over men and thus have greater control is exerted towards the men.  As it is the female's choice as to which of the men will receive in the form of sexual favors (Palinkas 2002). Although this ‘choosiness’ can certainly enhance the morale of the male as the female chooses, group cohesion this can have a negative impacted on the projected mission structure (Suster 1996).

Consider for example, the case of 32-year-old Dr. Judith Lapierre, a Ph.D. health sciences specialist, sponsored by the Canadian Space Agency, who participated in a 110-day isolation experiment designed to simulate a long duration of a space mission (Oberg 2000; Warren, 2000). According to Dr. Lapierre, two of her ‘Russian international crew mates’ became embroiled in a 10 minute violent ‘blood splattering fight’, immediately after which she was physically accosted and manhandled by the team commander. Who was labeled as the Russian, who began forcibly kissing her and sticking his tongue in her mouth (Oberg, 2000; Warren, 2000). Spending over a year weightless ranks as one of the astronauts under went some body change. However, a new study suggests that artificial gravity may help solve the problem. The study involved fifteen healthy men spending three weeks doing nothing but lying in bed, a level of inactivity that mimics weightlessness. (It's also a level of inactivity that mimics freelance blogging, but I digress.) Half of the men took a whirl in a NASA centrifuge for an hour every day. The centrifuge produced two and a half times the regular strength of gravity on Earth, and that was enough to stave off the muscle deterioration seen in the other members of the experiment.

If a crew of 3 males and 3 females were sent on a journey to Mars, it can be predicted that males would experience sexual interest in the female astronauts, and female astronauts may or may not always reciprocate depending on their hormonal status, and the status and attractiveness of the males vying for their attention. Male astronauts may not always take "no" for an answer. Dr. Lapierre forcefully protested immediately before, during, and after the assault, and was so frightened of additional sexual attacks that locks were placed on the doors to the passageway linking her test module with the Russian module. She and her crew mates also hid all the knives as they feared more violent outbursts and physical assaults. 

The experiment, called Sphinx-99, was designed to observe group dynamics under both routine and emergency conditions. In the case of Dr. Lapierre, it was the commander in charge of the mission who assaulted her and she appealed to outside supervisory personnel for help. On a human mission to Mars, there will be no doors which can lock out sexual predators, and no one from Mission Control who can come to a female astronaut's rescue. If women accompany men on a human Mission to Mars, are they at risk for rape. Or is the greater risk, falling in love and then pregnancy. For example Dr. Judith Lapierre, was the only woman in a crew of eight and who were confined to a replica of the Mir space station. In another simulation, which included more females, romantic relations developed between willing partners. According to Pletser (2010), during the Euro-Geo-Mars project designed to simulate a mission to Mars, in the Utah desert, two crew members engaged in a romantic relationship which involved open displays of affection and physical intimacy such as holding hands, spending exclusive time together in the evenings and while performing chores and various duties. Although privacy prevailed behind closed doors, these romantic activities were not welcome by other team members, and it was felt this behavior was detrimental to the unity of the group and team social activities.
