Astronauts Confirm: No Sex In Space

“We’re … Professionals” Said STS-131 Commander
Space Shuttle Discovery commander Alan Poindexter was asked during a recent visit to Tokyo what would happen if astronauts got … intimate during a mission.
“We’re a group of professionals,” Poindexter reportedly answered with a serious face. “We treat each other with respect and we have a great working relationship. Personal relationships are not … an issue. We don’t have them and we won’t.”
Poindexter recently commanded the two week STS-131 mission to re-supply ISS. The crew included the first Japanese mother to fly in space. The international news service AFP reports that Poindexter and the rest of the STS-131 crew were in Japan to talk about the mission.
The mission did mark the first time that there were four women aboard ISS at one time.

I find it impossible to believe that it hasn’t already been a planned and logged experiment.
If we (H.B’s) are going to move off this planet, we need to know if conception is in any way affected by a lack of or very small gravity.

All that floating seamen……………………….
Why would there be any floating semen? Emit it any of the right places & it’s not going to leak out under gravity.

Well I dunno, with zero gravity and not much to hold on, given Newton’s laws…gotta be pretty difficult.:dev2:
