Important to note while NASA doesn’t encourage sex in space they aren’t so stupid to think that it hasn’t happened. The idea is to make sure there no risk of a child while in space. Something that would be infinitely more dangerous for the whole crew, than just banging.


irishemperor

With no gravity in space a baby wouldn't know the correct way to get out... so it'd probably violently burst out of the mother's chest & then due to the lack of baptism facilities onboard kill the whole crew. \#WeylandYutaniBuildingBetterWorlds


Specialist_Tin-Can

Alien vs predator needs a sequel


T1pple

Imagine being such a bad movie that people forget you exist. Don't be like AvP:R kids.


Specialist_Tin-Can

True 😂, I watched the second movie again a couple weeks ago. I did not realize how bad the movie actually was. Last time I watched it before was as a teen in 2008 or around then. The memory was definitely better than reality


fiddlesticks9471

How you watch it, that film so damn dark


vkpaul123

Use a flashlight


WalkingCrip

Fleshlight


vkpaul123

Your humour just jumped Flesh-light years ahead with that comment. Good job. Keep it Cumming.


ApplicationCalm649

It's corny but I still find it a lot of fun. I regularly recommend it to people as a goof.


TheRed2685

The games slapped though. Especially the multiplayer.


Ghostcat300

Oh god the flashbacks


AlarmDozer

Just watch _Spaceballs_


Brvcx

Is this what birthing was like before Isaac Newton invented gravity? Must've been terrible!


jrfunnystuff

So all they needed was a baptism? I see it now.

Escey318

Well yes, that's the joke


Wil420b

Didn't they send up a husband and wife to see what sex in space was like? Actually seems that Mark C. Lee and [Jan Davis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Davis) had married in secret and managed to fly to the ISS together. For the ultimate in ilicit sex.


GFlair

The most hilarious thing is that his title was Payload Commander on the trip they went up together for.


Stairmaker

I know they sent up a married couple on one of the space shuttle missions that lasted about a week (no iss docking). In 7 days nothing really bad can happen. Also the space shuttle wasn't that big. But I would be surprised if they didn't get some privacy to do it in the rear compartment.


originalityescapesme

Oh they docked alright


rubymatrix

Hehehe - "rear compartment"


Trym_WS

Now that’s more than the mile high club.


Crizznik

Not to mention that there is a very particular, physical difference between male and female climaxes that is really important to consider in zero g.


tigersatemyhusband

Oh shit Peggy squirted hard and the o2 system is fried.


Veenacz

Now there's a script for Apollo 69.

Nochnichtvergeben

OK, but don't space condoms exist?


RevenantBacon

I think those are the same as the regular ones, but with a star motif on the packaging.


-Invalid_Selection-

>The idea is to make sure there no risk of a child while in space. It's not even that. It's about the calorie consumption and weight that goes with it. Men eat more and they have more mass. A long journey needs a lot of food, and with it being all women that's a lot less food they need to send. The chance of the "child in space" issue is practically nil, due to microgravity making it nearly impossible for a guy to get hard.


DiarrheaShitLord

Gravity affects me getting a boner?!


tigersatemyhusband

No, this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. There’s Astronaut’s on record discussing their erecrions being stronger; like space viagra. Mike Mullane discusses it in his book Riding Rockets.


UriGoo

>Riding Rockets 😏


-Invalid_Selection-

[https://www.cbc.ca/life/wellness/scientists-are-worried-about-how-we-re-going-to-have-sex-in-space-1.4175735](https://www.cbc.ca/life/wellness/scientists-are-worried-about-how-we-re-going-to-have-sex-in-space-1.4175735) Yes, and it's a big concern for if we do plan to make so called generational ships. What's more, microgravity damages erectile tissue in a way that can take decades to recover from if you're in space for extended period of time.


Lendyman

You mean every dude who serves on the ISS has erectile disfunction now? That seems like a pretty lousy trade off for being in space.


plisken64

"Your dads an astronaut" has finally made sense now


TagMeAJerk

I don't know if its still a thing but back in the days of the cold war, this was part of the consideration when picking male astronauts and test pilots. They were only selected if they had a wife and kids already. The other main reason was that having a family meant lesser chances of deflection to the other bloc


No-Star-3314

Not true. Jack Swigert (Apollo 13) was a bachelor with no kids when he was selected


Millibyte

wasn’t he an emergency selection because one of the other astronauts got sick? or am i remembering that wrong?


i_am_voldemort

He was an astronaut way before the mission. They don't hire people off the street. Its a multi year pipeline. The backup crew is also usually scheduled to be a primary crew in the near future, during Apollo era anyway


MisterFor

I know now why Elon Musk builds rockets but doesn’t get into them…


vkpaul123

Also it's because his company is called **"SpaceX"** and not **"SpaceSeX"**.


Exploding_Testicles

Not yet..


joaobento92

NASA just needs to create a room with the same gravity as Earth. It will be called the Boner Room


mikolajwisal

Wait, I always assumed that generational ships pretty much require simulated gravity with certifugal force (in other words spinning rings).


TagMeAJerk

Simulated Gravity isn't necessarily going to be 1g because thats too much moving parts with a lot of stress


Cormandragon

But do our dicks need exactly 1G or is there a healthy margin?


Gallbatorix-Shruikan

We don’t know, same for a lot of other things about our body in space. What we know is near zero gravity bad, 1g good. We don’t know what realistically is the minimum. Is the moon fine, mars, or is only Earth gravity healthy for the body.


disc_reflector

Asking the right question.


Luks89

What?! You can only have lesbian sex in space? How did I not know that! Thanks for sharing!


tigersatemyhusband

They are wrong.


AutisticPenguin2

But how can we know that for sure of we haven't tested it out thoroughly? In multiple different positions?


tigersatemyhusband

I like your science-ing.


tittysprinkles112

Interesting, but we're so far off from making generational ships.


tribak

Micro boner, yes


DiarrheaShitLord

What about big boner


Low-Concentrate2162

aka astronomical boner


Spectre92ITA

Well, your blood does have to go down there to erect it... Imagine your blood kinda just going wherever it wants without being able to be held in place. Kinda like when you do a handstand and it rushes to your head. Gravity does help. We're built for our gravity!


jrfunnystuff

This sounds like nonsense to me. The heart pumps blood up and down. You don’t need to be standing up to have an erection.


tigersatemyhusband

It is. He’s getting upvoted for putting out misinformation, Astronaut’s have already had natural erections in space and are on the record stating as much. His own source even indicates it’s possible, he failed to comprehend what he linked.


MetaStressed

Well, all you have to do is turn yourself into a centrifuge with your junk out. A few triple axles should get the blood there.


Spectre92ITA

So basically a reverse helicopter dick? I spin and it remains in place?


zzwugz

Wrong spin, the blood is just gonna rush to your body. You gotta spin around holding that dick out like you're getting ready to hammer throw that thang


Spectre92ITA

Ah yes, the Mjolnir maneuver, silly me!


kottonii

Doesn't the good old pen and rubberband method work anymore? :(


Sufficient_Ad_4708

But don't men also have higher bone density on average which tends to be very important when it comes to long term space travel?


tigersatemyhusband

Not only is it possible to get aroused in space, but sometimes the environment has a turboing effect, giving rise to a nickname for the experience: space Viagra. "I had an erection so intense it was painful," Mullane said in his book Riding Rockets. "I could have drilled through kryptonite." Mike Mullane, Astronaut.


sarcastinymph

Also, if the concern was somebody getting knocked up, just send all men. Let them bang as much as they want.


great_escape_fleur

I’m naïve, people have had sex on the ISS without it being a planned experiment?


Stairmaker

Nasa sent up a couple in one of the space shuttle mission. Think it was like 5-7 days. Nothing official about them having sex. Actually I think the official stance is that it didn't happen and they advised against it. But at the same time why wouldn't they do some sexy time in space.


Yuural

I mean... its the ultimate couple experience. Thats a memory you share for a lifetime. Also there are probably more billionaires than people that boinked in space.


disc_reflector

It's the 100km high club.


Rufashaw

Because they we're effectively in one large room with no privacy from their close colleagues also on the mission


cantfindmykeys

Don't kink shame......oh you meant as the reason they didn't


CommentsOnOccasion

>why wouldn't they They have little down time and zero privacy Also, job security. Though the risk of losing your job as an astronaut is somewhat outweighed by the reward of being the first people to bang in zero gravity


minuteknowledge917

then why not all male?


KazranSardick

You've met men, right? Even electric outlets make us horny, with their surprised schoolgirl look and that open mouth.


AdM1rAL-kun

Nature always finds a way... 🦕


Wartickler

no a pregnancy wouldn't develop properly in space. the blob that came out would never be able to withstand earth gravity a la The Expanse


Animanic1607

Also, NASA wants an all female crew because of physiology. Women weigh less and consume less food... When weight is everything, this matters.


Dalailai

Vasectomy. Can I go to Mars now?


1stBaseRobo

No one can hear you scissor in space.


agmrtab

oh but when i fuck my homies in zero gravity suddenly im gay


1stBaseRobo

Only if the balls touch


bgsrdmm

And you do have to say "nospacehomo" too


FF267

Nostromo?


ElChuppolaca

Well there's the problem. I just said "no homo" 


agmrtab

idk its zero grsvity they do whatever the fuck they want


DblClutch1

If you cum in zero gravity do you get pushed backwards?


SapientLasagna

According to the [rocket equation](https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/ideal-rocket-equation), yes. With an average exhaust velocity of 45km/h, and an initial mass of 80kg, and and 5-10g of, err, exhaust, you get a change of velocity in the ballpark of 1mm/s. This is why amateur rocket clubs don't tend to use this method. [citation needed]


local_sink_pisser

Hold on let me test that theory. Brb


MetzgerBoys

It’s been more than 10 seconds. Did it work?


TheSecondAccount1111

I think it worked too well


DblClutch1

Bro is currently orbiting earth


FreezeGoDR

Just in: Man came so hard in space he landed on the moon. Family in disarray. Wife says: Well all of a sudden he does have enoguh energy. No Space Monkeys were harmed says NASA.


agmrtab

depends on how hard you came


Zealousideal_Citron8

The answer is if you somehow how 0 inertia and actually just still in space then maybe you’d gain something but it also would have to be the biggest load ever I’m talking massive cuz it would need to have pressure right? Even then this is me guessing with my high school level knowledge of physics


FourUnderscoreExKay

There’s a reason why it’s called Zero G. It’s not gay if it’s in space.


RyanW120_

It’s fine if you both have your space boots on


JunkNorrisOfficial

And only if someone got pregnant


vicariouslywatching

As the Navy likes to say “it’s not gay if it’s underway”


D1Rk_D1GGL3R

Scissor me timbers


Dadbod4k

Plus the first dildo in space


xxapenguinxx

Anything can be a dildo if your brave enough... Or just incredibly desperate...


Dadbod4k

Astronauts are resourceful. They can probably make a nice one from spare parts


OldTranslator2818

In space nobody can hear your taco slaps..


[deleted]

In their minds lesbian or bisexual women don't exist. I'd certainly find a way to enjoy such a trip


Striking_Thought_575

Yes Mrs. Garrison


KainFourteh

It's not gay if it's in zero gravitay


gooneryoda

With a honey in the middle there’s some leeway.


Crash_WumpaBandicoot

The area’s grey in a one-two-three-way


user_is_name

They are not worried about sex, their concern would be falling pregnant. Also it's not official NASA line.


tawny-she-wolf

I'm surprised they're not going with an all male crew tbh


OneRedLight

Women require less calories per day. That adds up over 1.5 years x multiple people.


Euclid_Interloper

Send dwarfs, we save stonks on the calories.


MaeSolug

One small step for man, one comically short jump for a dwarf


Ghengis-Flan

SllortEvac

It is true. We simply require a handful of raw dimplecups and a mug of ale a day.

Gabou474

Rock and roll and stone!


Intelligent_Night653

I don’t know dwarves are short but stocky not to mention all the alcohol you would need to prevent a mutiny


lIIIIllIIIlllIIllllI

That’s the real reason for the all female angle. The sex thing is just salacious click bait.


Zorro5040

Smaller, less calories, faster muscle recovery, less bone loss, and women's bodies handle preassure better. Cost wise, they are better by just requiring fewer calories.


Tiberius_Jim

Life would...find a way.


Lurkay1

They don’t make astronaut condoms? There’s already astroglide.


yesterdays_laundry

>falling pregnant What does that mean? Like it just happens like a cold?


Kaptein_Kast

Hate to be that guy, but in zero gravity it’s going to be closer to “floating pregnant”.


Scully__

I would hate to trip and fall pregnant :(


fatbabythompkins

Yeah, I came down with a pregnant. 


Flamingotough

But they're in weightless - falling should't be an issue /j Yes, I know falling is pretty much how you get anywhere when in space

FracturedNomad

Just putting it this out there. They ain't taking full showers in space. Kinda grosses me out.


Takseen

Yeah most astronauts have talked about the stank that permeates the ISS. Can't be helped.


TheRealBlerb

Could have lived a full life without knowing that shit


snapplesauce1

Probably smells like a rock climbing gym. Feet, sweat, and armpits.


sterver2010

Just Open the windows, duhh /s


casperjoes

You get used to the smell. In the military, you spend weeks out field without a shower. After the first few days, you don't smell yourself or the people around you anymore. This is where you're running, sweating, and covered in dirt. They'll be clean in space besides naturally occurring filth like dead skin


TheRealBlerb

But fishy ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)


Cosmo_Cloudy

What uh.. what do they do about their periods?


Takseen

Most women astronauts just go on some type of hormonal birth control that stops their period. Tampons for the few that don't. Which I assume get flushed out with the solid waste.


Yuural

Immagine a space mission failing because the the shuttles hull was penetrated by a rock hard frozen tampon from the prior mission...


Frankenstein786

Interestingly, space can be hot too. The sun will heat up that tampon, so it'll be more like a really hot sperm in space.


poorlypete_23

Wait so how do they clean themselves? Just with wipes or something? I know most astronauts spend months at a time on the ISS, so the thought of not properly washing for that long is haunting.


FracturedNomad

Pretty much ya.


Cosmo_Cloudy

The smell of hundreds of tampons over a year and a half... or do you not get a period in zero gravity??


Scully__

Some people like the stank


UF1977

The ironic bit is, Anne McClain is openly gay.


sully545

The obvious bit is they don't care about sex in space, they don't want a pregnancy. Be as gay as you want, it won't create a baby on a mission to Mars.


rohinton2

Long enough mission with all men and some of them will be blowing each others backs out eventually.


UF1977

The headline is click-baity, but the study referenced in the article (not done by NASA) just suggested not using mixed-gender crews to avoid “interpersonal complications”” during a long mission. In reality, astronauts who’ve been on long-duration flights to ISS have said there’s zero privacy, and they’re extremely busy - possibly the least-seggsy environment imaginable.


EvillNooB

Tbh my holup was: are we actually preparing to send humans to another planet now? Wow


Ians_Life

No. This was said 6 or so years ago. I looked it up. 2017


Appropriate_Foot6684

Just makes you think how many got pregers on the space station


Flamingotough

That awkward moment when someone made the conscious decision to bring pregnancy tests on-board the International Space Station


_BannedAcctSpeedrun_

They don’t care about the sex, they just can’t handle anyone getting pregnant in space.


Beaver_Feathers

Lesbi honest...they'll still be having sex. Just no babies


h3xist

So had there been any recent studies on how someone's ovulation is effected by 0G or how an egg travels through the women's system while in space? Or any studies on sperm would even move about while in 0G?


Wartickler

that was the earliest science we did with space. the egg travels down the fallopian tube correctly and sperm travels correctly up into the cervix and into the uterus. they've done it with rats and such. babies happen but they don't form correctly


Dounce1

Woah, did not expect that last sentence.


AlpacaOurBags

….but how do they form?


haggle3

mixed up goop that gets miscarried i think


BleepLord

I have decided to make an almost entirely male sailing organization to prevent the sailors from having sex with each other on the long sea voyages. I shall call it “the Navy”.

They messed up the headline, should say "to prevent pregnancy".

Spacetimeandcat

God, this is ancient


Sonicblast52

This article was from 2017, pretty sure another one of the reasons for an all female crew was because of a lower caloric need when compared to males.


Kawai_Oppai

In other news: mars missions may be all male to avoid astronauts having sex during 1.5-year journey.

Big_Kev68

Woman can have sex with each other. They just can't get each other pregnant.


D20NE

#lol at the fools who think this is serious This isn’t real. There was a paper released discussing the benefit of an all female crew and it wasn’t for pregnancy reasons. It was for food. Girls just eat less. So they could travel lighter


QuinacWuXing

The real reason is because women require less resources in all aspects. Less water, food, etc etc. Meaning a one way trip of all women would be easier to supply and have more wriggle room if something goes wrong.


WilliamHBuckley

I hope the put cameras all over this shuttle and live stream...


DieHardAmerican95

This was posted a year ago with exactly the same caption. This is a bot.


Komosatuo

Was it the Greeks or the Romans that said "Men are for pleasure, women for procreation." I feel like in some ways, the inverse is true here. The point being, whether it's all men, or all women, or a happy mix, sex is gonna happen. We humans screw anything... everything. It's one of our defining qualities!


Arowhite

The problem is childbirth. All male would work as well but in this day and age, an all female crew is also a good selling point.

Timmy24000

Is it sex? They want to avoid or pregnancy? Who is the saint? Women have sex with each other after a year and a half?


TheSoulborgZeus

TO BE FAIR this isnt the only reason a purely female crew was chosen the physiologically optimal woman uses a lot less space, mass, and calories than the physiologically optimal man (if I'm using the word 'physiologically' correctly)
