Yes, women have been in space since the early days of space exploration. The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova, a Soviet cosmonaut who flew aboard Vostok 6 in 1963. Since then, numerous women from various countries have participated in space missions, including those on the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, and other missions. Today, women continue to play significant roles in space exploration and research.
Women who flew on the Space Shuttle by country: 44 American 2 Canadian 2 Japanese 1 Russian 49 total This includes Christa McAuliffe, who died on the Challenger on January 28, 1986. FYI: The Russian (Soviet) space program has also launched 7 women in space who did not fly on the shuttle (as of 6-15-2010), and there have been 4 women who have flown on both the shuttle and the Russian program, for a total of 56 women in space. The first was Valentina Tereshkova launched on the Soviet program on June 16, 1963.
There have been no human space missions to Mars. The only missions to Mars to date have been through flybys with space craft, orbiters, and land rovers.
Yes, women can definitely be astronauts. Numerous women have successfully become astronauts and have participated in space missions conducted by various space agencies around the world, including NASA. Gender is not a barrier to becoming an astronaut.

As of 2021, NASA has completed over 200 manned and unmanned space missions, including robotic missions to planets, satellites, and the International Space Station. These missions have helped advance our understanding of space exploration and the universe.
The first American space missions were called Mercury missions. These missions aimed to put astronauts into space, gather data on human spaceflight, and pave the way for more ambitious missions. The Mercury program ran from 1960 to 1963.
As of 2021, a total of 580 people have flown into space. This includes astronauts from various countries who have participated in missions to space stations, space shuttle flights, and other space missions.

So far, zero.As far as is known to the public, no astronaut has ever died in spaceon a mission after launch.
He was on four missions.
