Though men were the first to reach for the stars, science has proven definitively that women are far better suited to the task. Consider the evidence.

Here are ten reasons women make better astronauts than men:

1. They look so cute in their little space outfits: Science has proven that girl astronauts look way cuter in little space outfits. Men could never pull this off.

2. Space is a vacuum and women love vacuums: For cleaning.

3. If you time the mission right, they’re all in good moods and super cooperative: But if your timing is off… God help you.

4. They need much less oxygen because of their smaller brains: Very efficient.

5. They have plenty of experience with high Gs from spin class at the gym: We’re pretty sure this is how it works.

6. In space, no one can hear you passive-aggressively say “It’s fine.”: Just the sweet sound of the silent void.

7. If the onboard AI goes rogue, they can manipulate and guilt-trip it into submission: Finally, they can use their powers for good.

8. Shuttle capsule will smell like lavender and stuff: Space travel has never been so relaxing.

9. If the hull of the ship springs a leak, they can plug the hole with a stiletto from one of their high heels: There are so many uses for those.

10. Women are never wrong, so the mission is a guaranteed success: Why didn’t someone think of this before?

There you have it! We hope this educational article will help you not underestimate female astronauts in the future.
