Gender include language on the 2011-2012 space topic

The term "unmanned" and "manned" is quite common in the literature surrounding the 2011-2012 space exploration topic.  Teams wishing to avoid criticism of using gender exclusive language will need to consider what term(s) should as an alternative.

After some research, I uncovered this discussion on WordSmyth that suggests that, while problematic, the terms "staffed" and "unstaffed" might be an acceptable alternative.

Anyone have better?
