According to a story in yesterday's paper (30/4/04), NASA is considering chemically castrating male astronauts that would go on a mission to Mars. Seems that, given it's a 3 year round trip and the crew would likely include a couple of females, sexual frustration could build up and cause problems in the group dynamic.
Being an astronaut just became a whole lot less cool.
