    Answer: In that period of time, men had more experience - mostly combat & then more test work. As women's opportunities for experience caught up, they became astronauts, too.https://twitter.com/saudibdn/status/1084826247375609856 …

    @GenChuckYeager Hi General, with the mission profiles of the first space flights, what were your views on the Mercury 13 at that time, and would you give the same answer today?
