if those are the reasons they should send only sterile dwarfs or whatever would be the preferred nomenclature

  Not dwarfs, hobbits. We should send hobbits. They are even more compact. On a more serious note, it was pretty standard to prefer shorter men to train as fighter plane pilots. Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, was merely 1.57m (5'2") tall. I can imagine that smaller physical dimensions may become more than a tie-breaking factor in choosing participants for future Mars missions.

OK but can they still be sterile > On a more serious note, it was pretty standard to prefer shorter men Another example Audie Murphy's height was recorded as 5 feet 5.5 inches (1.66 m) and his weight as 112 pounds (50.8 kg).
