Come on now, if you were locked in a room with an ugly chick for 30months i'm sure before the 1st month ended you'd be at it. At the very least, mutual masterbation. - DickBreath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree with floejoe that a unisex crew would solve the pregnancy problem. Even if a unisex crew of guys were all straight, this does not mean that some fooling around would not happen.
This is especially true if at least one guy is gay. I can assure you that *lots* of straight guys like to get "serviced" -- they just don't want anyone to know. At first, I thought it was that they didn't want anyone to know it happened. Years later I realized that they just don't want anyone to know that they liked it.
Even an all NASA-approved 100% straight arrow male crew, in the flower of their youth, for 30 months, in a confined space -- think about it. They did not just meet each other on the day of the launch. They already know each other well enough to know they can get along in a confined space for 30 months. In other words, they already are friends, and have some kind of emotional connection. They probably trust each other with their lives. I find it difficult to believe that at some point their would not at least be some "helping hands". - thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2in space, no one can hear you climax
- spin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I will be writing an updated version of the Kama sutra to include positions that are only possible in zero G. In order to do this, i will require the following provisions:
a good 10,000hrs of parabolic flight time(weight-less plane ride)
2 brunettes
a blond
and a midget with a camera - pmsyyz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Easy fix, married couples.

They should just send Digg comment writers, then they could get to Pluto!
Or Slashdot, then they'd make it to Alpha Centauri. - Live4Soccer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1....then again, isn't a Playboy and a locked bathroom essentially a low tech sex simulator?
- Drahknon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sounds like Stranger in A Strange Land. I grok it.
- Korivak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thirty months is two and a half years. I don't know about you, but I think the average person (or even an un-average astronaut) would start to get a little on edge after two and a half years without sex, living with the same people in such close quarters, far from home, bored, nervous and always on alert for sudden disasters. Two and a half years is a long time under conditions like that.
- floejoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sex is not the problem, a problem arises in potential pregnancies, which last 9 months and the mission is 30 month, effectively putting 2 passengers at high risk.
Instead of always trying to be politically correct why not simply put a unisex crew on this trip instead? If they're straight they wont have gay sex, if they're not, nobody gets pregnant and problem solved. - Mexrocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1send ugly people... and no paper bags... problem solved
- retr0spectiv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh Lord, some idiot is going to propose a way to stop a male-female crew from procreating. Heres my advice: LET THEM. If you dont, your going to be causing more problems.. because they'll find a way to do it anyways.. and thats when it gets dnagerous. They're just going to have to figure out a safe way to give birth to a healthy baby in space. It just has to happen. Nothing else is acceptable... We're going to be living up there in 50-100 years.
- capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can imagine a couple wildly engaging in the act, doing 100 summersualts and bouncing off walls. Oh wait... that's my place on the weekends.
- falloutsyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0funny title got my attention :p
- cool4u2view, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They will probably end up solving this the old fashioned way and send sterile people or make them take drugs to inhibit sex drive.
- CaptSnuffy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ever since i saw moonraker...
- VinCenT13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0and so new terms arise
" I'd space tap that!"
Or for the fat girls
"Damn, I'd tap that if it were weightless" - technstuff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0some priceless quotes in here, gotta digg it so I can read the comments again later.
@rewritable, 250 GB, now that's impressive - MikhoohkiM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0SPACE PORN COOL!!!
This Guy In Space ejaculates Across The Ship And Lands His Target!!! :-D - super_structure, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Honestly, crew sterilization may be the answer. If members of the crew volunteer for sterilization, this problem could be alleviated." - ufnmouth (0)
I was at a symposium with the previous NASA administrator, and this sort of thing did come up in a round about way. While it wasn't fully addressed at the time, it was basically explained that the astronauts (both male and female) would be given drugs which would both act as non-permanent sterilization and as libido killer. In effect, the astronauts won't have much in the way of sexual desire and even if they do, they won't get pregnant. Also, I think they don't have a whole lot of free time and everything they do is monitored. You're probably less likely to have sex if you know that 10 technicians and medical crew are watching your vitals.
"Specialist Smith, we're seeing an increase in body temp and heart rate in you and Jackson. Is everything okay up there? Oh, you need more meds..." - toasty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"How do you have sex in weightlessness?"
No clue. But imagine: certain positions won't be as strenuous as it would be with gravity. :shock: - EricTheGrey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"""""How do you have sex in weightlessness?"""""
How would it really be different than in earth gravity except your floating? You could still get stimulated. I don't see how gravity is needed at all for sexual function."
I think Leslie Fish said it best (paraphrasing Newton):
Momentum changes in proportion to the force
Acting on a resting body and making it move,
And every action is opposed
By an equal reaction of the same magnitude
In the opposite direction,
Without exception.
The bondage idea above has more merit than one would suppose. :)
EtG - mortal-god, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Zero-g spot" I was going to say the same thing but the article beat me to it
- Guano, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"How do you have sex in weightlessness?"
That's a good question. - blackmesa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0let me be the first to say "bow chicka wow wow.."
- coachace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"US National Academy of Sciences"
NOT!

oh yeah! - SaintStryfe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, Bushie didn't think about this part as he flogs himself for impure thoughs, eh?
- kindrobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Can you imagine how Bush and crew would feel about funding official government pron? Ok, I'm gonna stop laughing in a few hours.
- DrBudro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like the last sentence of the article:
"The NAS report also calls for NASA to study the effects of cultural differences on how crews function and quantify the amount of radiation astronauts will face on long-duration space missions."
Looks like NASA at least has their priorities right. - AeonTorpor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0send ugly people... and no paper bags... problem solved - Mexrocker
Oh man, that's terrible. In the beginning, there was space... and ugly people. The ugly people begat more ugly people. And so it was. The new breed of ugly space people did... something. I don't know, shut up. I lost where i was going. lol - Bleek-II, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Honestly, crew sterilization may be the answer. If members of the crew volunteer for sterilization, this problem could be alleviated."-hufnmouth
Think for NASA suggest sterilization as a solution, would be a step to far. - RandomSkratch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For the love of god DON'T PULL OUT!
- hufnmouth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Honestly, crew sterilization may be the answer. If members of the crew volunteer for sterilization, this problem could be alleviated.
- SoulVirus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's about time they addressed this issue. I can't image our fellow astronauts going to "No one has gone in the last 3 months, give or take" NASA great job
- sporkman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0space orgy?
- anagami, on 07/02/2008, -0/+0"We should set a porn donation site for NASA!
I have 29GBytes to donate and I sure the rest you could help out too!"
rofl.
for the record, no I cann't help. - anagami, on 07/02/2008, -0/+0"Does it make me a perv or a scientist for having thought of this years ago?"
Don't know, maybe both.
...I also thought of this before btw. - rewritable, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have one 250 GB hard drive full to brim with porn that I'll donate, so full windows disk defragmenter wont defrag it.
- berzerk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0can't wait for the reality show!
- ironmonkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Brings a new meaning to the classic B-movie title "It Came From Outer Space."
I had to go with the low brow comment since I saw there was 69 comments when I posted. Hehe. 69.... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how about they just give them a bunch of those weed pills and ***** not...
- AminoSC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this story really turned me on!
- celeb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i smell a reality series on the horizon:)
- navaburo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Has anyone read "Gold at the Starbow's End" ?
An excellent scifi short story about a trip to alpha centuri, how the crew had sex, invented crazy new narcotics, gave birth the the Antichrist, and destroyed Earth? - hufnmouth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Think for NASA suggest sterilization as a solution, would be a step to far." - bleek-II
Not really. The requirements for shuttle astronauts are pretty stringent. There are injections and medical treatments they have to subscribe to in order to go into orbit so the mission have have the greatest success factor. Sterilization, even temporary sterilization , would be an acceptable treatment in light of the mission. - CajunGypsy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually, it was not Leslie Fish but Diana Gallagher, in her song "A Reconsideration of Anatomical Docking Maneuvers in a Zero-Gravity Environment (Zero-Gee Sex)," which won a Pegasus Award in 1986 from the Ohio Valley Filk Fest (www.ovff.com/pegasus).
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol@ dickbreath if any of my homies tried to hit on me damn man there would be a fight!
