The Hypatia I crew intent, among other things, to grow fish and plants on Mars, to demonstrate that some single-celled living organisms can adapt to Martian radiation, or to manufacture a low-cost Martian GPS. The crew also hope to act as clear references to inspire girls and young women to pursue scientific careers and explore the universe. At a time when only 30% of the world’s scientific research is conducted by women and only 20% of space research, there’s a real need for more women scientists.
