    NASA must study sex in space: Scientists

    Washington, Jan 13 (ANI): Experts have suggested that NASA must touch on the topic of space sex.

    According to them, there haven't been any studies on whether a child be conceived in zero-G or how sex would even work in space.

    Dr. Rhawn Joseph from the Brain Research Laboratory in California discusses everything from the social conditions that would push astronauts to have sex to the possibility of the first child being born on another planet.

    "Human beings are sexual. They think about it a lot. So if you're on a trip to Mars, it's going to be dark out, you'll be in a long period of isolation, and there's not going to be a lot to do," Fox News quoted him as saying.

    "There's a definite possibility that it could happen."

    Joseph added that on the long space journeys that NASA takes, it would be impossible to expect astronauts not to form emotional ties.

    "The Antarctic is comparable to space: It's extremely cold down there and you spend a lot of time indoors. So NASA and lot of organizations think that's a great analog to what it'll be like on Mars," Joseph said.

    "And we see that researchers will go down there for extended periods of time in these extremely hostile conditions, and women will get pregnant. It's just part of normal behaviour," he added.

    "So if you put an infant on Mars, they would adapt to varying degrees of the new environment. And after several generations, you'd have a new species," he said.

    NASA does not take a position on sex in space. According to the "Astronaut Code of Professional Responsibility," astronauts are expected to adhere to "a constant commitment to honorable behavior," but NASA won't go much further than that.

    Michael Finneran, a spokesman for NASA Langley Research Center, said, "Since it's not a NASA publication, and NASA is not currently engaged in any initiatives to colonize Mars, and NASA's not conducting any research on sex or reproduction in space or on Mars, we are unable to provide a comment on the matter."

    "Send husbands and wives into space to have sex and do studies on it. It's got to be done if the long range goal is to go to other planets. Science marches on," Joseph concluded.

    The article appears in The Journal of Cosmology. (ANI)

      I have read a story in my childhood. Adam-Eve's story. They were the first couple making love in the heaven. So, the heaven administration sent them on the Earth for making love as the punishment and with a good view that the Earth is the most appropriate place for love and new life. Thus life evolved on the earth.
      Now let's see who are the next Adam & Eve to be exciled even from the Earth.

      Its great idea, lets scientist's do, what ever they think. They are studying with this. Everybody, discover some thing, like we never imagine long time ago, about the bulb and the tube lights, people studied in dark, with the lamp and people only travel by horses and today, with these scientists worked hard and think very hard and with full of efforts with full of enthusiasm, the great scientists, created a phone, mobile phone, internet, motorcycles, cars, Aircrafts, Space shuttle and x-rays, ctscan and many other, beautiful, amazing. And not only that, they made the testtube babies and also other types. also from dramas to movies, music, from gramaphone plates to the casests and now to the cd and dvds and microchips, etc. so, let them create as much as they think. So, in this type of imagination, Human being study and keep on study. This is an wonderful education. So, lets all together join and clap and encourage the scientists, not discourage them. Please. If we dont want it, then, we should not send our childrens to school. The purpose of chldrens going to school, to develop the world, and other planets, with the education, what they learned. So, for me, its ok, if the scientist's like to try to make love in the space and to see, what happens. If no body is ready for it, then, i myself, can accept for this wonderful test. hahahahah. who knows, may be i will get an opportunity to go to space. ravipeacemaker@yahoo.com

    • Sara  •  1 year 4 months ago
      well these experts should concentrate on how to reduce the hunger and producing more food instead of suggesting for all this and how to stop destruction by storms and land slides all over the world. Do these experts are now planning to destruct the outer space also. They have destroyed the earth now and then the outer space.........

      oh my god!! our NASA scientist experiment on this issue ,,,,,,,,, oh! .........see the earth position 1st, how population growing rapidly every seconds and may be in mili seconds. no body going to solve this population growth problem. if this experiment succeeded then the scientist never loose this option for reproduction, because earth already filled with extreme population. oh god.....save the other planets. my dear scientist's please leave other planet's as it is. god bless other planets.......... because our human's eye's are dangerous !!! hahahahaha
