NASA Needs to Take Space Sex Seriously

universetoday.com — The US space agency needs to have better consideration for the sexual needs of their astronauts during long missions in space. Also, more research needs to be done to investigate human embryo development in zero-gravity or low-gravity environments, especially if NASA is serious about setting up a colony on Mars in the next 30 years.

  • irishjays, on 07/14/2008, -1/+54I once went over 18 years without sex.
  • Scaryclouds, on 07/12/2008, -4/+50Who's ready to join the 100 mile high club?
  • timusca, on 07/14/2008, -0/+38Don't they already get tang?
  • Shogi, on 07/12/2008, -7/+43Here's an idea:

    Send porn mags and tissue.

    Problem solved.
  • martron3000, on 07/14/2008, -0/+34If NASA sold "space porn", it could fund all its projects without any taxpayer money! It's the perfect solution to their financing problems. Doing it in the name of science.

    Everyone wins!
  • grantmoore3d, on 07/14/2008, -1/+32Well, if they really wanted to find out, they should probably talk to William Shatner. He's pretty much the biggest space pimp in existence.
  • timusca, on 07/14/2008, -0/+30You mean a plastic bag so you can catch it floating through the air.
  • GramarNazi, on 07/14/2008, -0/+30I guess I'll offer myself as a test subject... Only for my country.
  • jamesglanville, on 07/14/2008, -3/+30So you're 18?
  • hokie47, on 07/14/2008, -1/+28The cum shot could fly forever.
  • frankingeneral, on 07/14/2008, -0/+23NASA needs to send up one high priced call girl with each mission. I mean prostitution has to be legal in outer space, right? That's like gambling in international waters.

    Oh yeah, and "human docking procedures", haha.
  • f4nt0m4s, on 07/14/2008, -0/+21I always wondered what the chemistry was like up on the space station....isn't it like 5 or 6 guys and one girl?

    Oh well. In hindsight, maybe NASA should adopt the Navy's solution.
  • f4nt0m4s, on 07/14/2008, -0/+21the male to female ratio for space missions, especially the space station, has been like 5 or 6 to 1....international space bukkake?
  • roflmcwaffles, on 07/14/2008, -2/+23Dugg for zero gravity boobies.
  • innocentsinner, on 07/14/2008, -0/+20Only for your country? But what about for the hot Russian cosmonauts?
  • NotoriousOIT, on 07/13/2008, -0/+18Now in bookstores: The Pop-Up Kama Sutra: Zero-Gravity Edition.
  • BigManOnCampus, on 07/13/2008, -0/+17Most of the ISS crews have been all male. They're talking about long-mission-intimacy issues in this article, not specifically procreation. They're worried about sociological problems in the crew.
  • whatever01, on 07/14/2008, -1/+17a sock.
  • ncc74656m, on 07/14/2008, -0/+15Pics or it didn't happen.
  • Plower, on 07/14/2008, -0/+14Expedition spouse sounds nerdy.....and awesome.
  • Eezyville, on 07/14/2008, -0/+14I would rather send pornstars than porn mags.
  • Defuser, on 07/14/2008, -2/+15You probably should look into that whole "writing down every creepy thought that enters your head" thing.
  • Ultrace, on 07/14/2008, -1/+14You realize that "mile high club" existed as a phrase long before COD4 came out, right?
  • frankingeneral, on 07/14/2008, -0/+13That's on of the most brilliant things I've ever heard.
  • slapded, on 07/14/2008, -0/+13one small step for man. one giant.. uh..
  • Firehed, on 07/14/2008, -0/+12I don't know how you converted people that are desperate into child molesters, but you should probably see someone about that. Namely a shrink, not your 8-year-old neighbor.
  • BalooUrsidae, on 07/13/2008, -1/+13Woo! Giant, childfree zone! When can I move off-planet?
  • ZephyrNinety, on 07/14/2008, -0/+11Yeah, but after you had it once, you want to again.
  • Typhoon2009, on 07/14/2008, -0/+10"would it be given automatic citizenship in all the countries on earth"
    That'd be kinda cool actually.
  • Archos, on 07/14/2008, -1/+11I like sex.
  • TallestSkil, on 07/14/2008, -1/+11Why do you love the next guy? I don't think homosexual relations are sanctioned by NASA.
  • ganjaguru, on 07/14/2008, -1/+10Space-Sex: Sagging breasts shall never plague mankind again.
  • dtfinch, on 07/14/2008, -0/+9Just send a bunch of diggers.
  • christopherRB, on 07/14/2008, -1/+10Every astronaut should have their right to pick and take a hooker with them.
  • XeRoX2k2, on 07/14/2008, -0/+8the aftermath would be huge if a child was born on the space station. there's no gravity to develop muscles,and there's all the puking,pissing,and ***** babies do freely without warning.after all the physical stuff is taken care of. what's the baby's nationality? since it wasn't born within the boundaries of a given country.would it be given automatic citizenship in all the countries on earth or just the ones that contributed to the space station.
  • ATLien74, on 07/14/2008, -0/+8Who wouldn't want to do it in space?
  • Kajon, on 07/14/2008, -2/+10Sorry, But you are a moron.

    I haven't got any for dunno how long. But I'm still not attracted to children or feel the need to rape anyone. How wierd.
  • STKD, on 07/14/2008, -1/+9Perhaps we'd finally move on from this quaint, antiquated notion of "nationality" quicker...
  • timusca, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7Great, you can have the monkey.
  • marcusbrutus, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7Actually I think you're absolutely right. With proper marketing they could not only meet their current budget, but probably exceed it by 3-4 times.
  • Plower, on 07/14/2008, -1/+8it would just make it the next teen hangout zone
  • Haroshia, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7Astronauts gone wild!
  • LeeSoong, on 07/14/2008, -0/+7Pole Dancers in Zero-G can do the most amazing stunts!
  • BalooUrsidae, on 07/13/2008, -0/+7What country controls that particular craft? There's several countries with modules up on the ISS right now.
  • LoudMusic, on 07/14/2008, -0/+6A group of friends were talking about sex fantasies one night, most saying on a beach or in mountain cabin, blah blah blah, and I said "sex in space. no question." Which of course one person in the group had to argue that it is not physically possible because everytime you thrust you'd just push yourself away. To which I reply, "You just have to hold on tighter ;)"

    Sex in space. You know you wanna (:
  • LeeSoong, on 07/14/2008, -0/+6Bones lose calcium in Zero G, so I would think fetal skeletal development would be at risk?
  • fivo7, on 07/14/2008, -0/+6houston does dallas
  • gn0stik, on 07/14/2008, -0/+6Pfft. Diggers don't get... OOOOOooohhhh. I see what you did there.

    Well played sir.
