Can’t argue with facts
« In space, 69 and 69 are the same thing »
To quote one line from Netflix’s Inside Job.
JFK: We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because I am hard.
Haaaaahd
But do they understand the gravity of that discovery?
Only a little, it is microgravity after all.
Straddle vs ass presented. I don’t see how no gs changes this
Hypothesis, theory, or experiment?
Yes, and in that exact order.
Wouldn’t the hypothesis be first, then tested via experiment, then after a significant amount of peer review finally confirmed as a theory?
I’d be curious to know which of the team did the testing
Science has not gone far enough in this case. More research is needed.
We need to go deeper!
Pull back on you nutsack and give her that emergency inch!
You had the perfect word to fit in there and instead you went with “gone”!? Come on man!
finally we are getting results.
I am volunteering for experimentation to prove this.
this is more an epiphany than a discovery… ‘a sudden realization or awareness to the reality of something’
Not if they proved it with a study and collected data!
yes, i would support this endeavor if we must be certain. for science.
so in the history of all space programs what are the odds no one has done the deed? im not sure i believe nasa when they say ‘not us’.
Tbh, it might actually be no one. For one, these are some of the most professional people on the planet - wildest deviations I can think was someone smuggling a sandwich on board, and one of them bringing a gorilla costume.
Two, a lot of being an astronaut is pretty undignified when it comes to waste management, and they can’t just take a shower, so I’d wager whatever sponge bath they’re able to pull off likely leaves a lot to be desired. So, not really prime sexy time.
And physically, sex in zero-g seems like one of those things that sounds fun on paper, but in practice would be a lot of work to the point of not being worth the effort.
…I do wonder what zero-g would do to gestation and development, especially over the course of multiple generations. Probably the kind of thing we should start with mice though - humans take too long.
The soviets tried letting rats breed in zero g but they didn’t seem to manage to copulate. A number of smaller organisms have been able to breed in zero g and/or microgravity including c elegans, fruit flies, and cockroaches. They have shown that mouse IVF is at least theoretically possible (petri dish embryos are possible) but it doesn’t seem that they’ve tried actual breeding since that soviet rat experiment.
Huh. Well that explains why those are my two favorite positions
It’s actually dependent on orientation to either the plane of the solar system or, if interstellar, the galactic plane. Once we become an extra galactic species, our anatomy will be such that this entire premise makes no sense.
