From: LShilkoff.ES@Xerox.ARPA I just heard on the radio NASA is planning for experiments involving intimate relations on board the future space station with married couples and couples with "significant relationships". Question: How do you avoid moving from a stationary point in space while having intimate relations. I understand the first space based birth control device will be called the heat shield :-) sorryijusthadto Larry

What is a "significant relationship"? Does lust count for anything? And I heard that these "heat sheilds" are having problems. They are falling off and cracking during 'liftoff' and especially during 'reentry'. Any truth to these rumours? :-) Steven Schultz =============================================================================== "You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant, excepting Alice" -Arlo Guthrie "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" =============================================================================== PATH: uw-beaver!ihnp4!cbosgd!osu-eddie!bgsuvax!schultz ===============================================================================

From: Rick McGeer (on an aaa-60-s) <mcgeer%ucbkim@Berkeley> Quite aside from the sniggering in this matter, there's a serious question here. Can humans conceive and reproduce in free fall? Maybe it will never matter (the O'Neill colony will have artificial gravity) but we still should find out. The effects of free fall on a fetus can't be measured until the space station goes up, and for that matter the effects on a human fetus shouldn't be explored at all until there has been at least one animal (preferably primate) pregnancy and birth in space. However, we can test the ability to conceive right now: send a pair of rabbits up, with the female due to go in heat while in orbit. This test wouldn't prove the negative result conclusively if the rabbits refused to Do It, but that (knowing rabbits) is fairly unlikely.... Rick.
@S1-A.ARPA,@MIT-MC.ARPA:LARS@ACC (07/16/85)
From: Lars Poulsen <LARS@ACC> From "The Weekly" of Santa Barbara, July 11th, comes this little filler piece titled ''SEX IN SPACE'': ''Seeking to ensure the success of space missions, NASA has to be sensitive to the needs of its crew members. With the first US space station scheduled to go up in 1992, and "manned" by members of both sexes, provisions for some extra-terestrial nookie are cur- rently being explored. According to Yvonne Clearwater, an envir- onmental psychologist for the space agency, normal, healthy professionals will probably possess normal, healthy sexual appe- tites. It isn't NASA's job to make moral judgments, just to make sure the station's scientific work isn't disrupted. And that, says Clearwater, means providing an "environment where needs for auditory and visual privacy are met."'' ------

[] I dont see any problems with positioning (a modified 'Rocking Chair' position seems reasonable), and this could lead to a small retail business providing 'Space Bondage' devices to prevent sudden undocking. Key-Man (and the Masters of Technology)

Doesn't the idea of intimate relations somehow tie in with the idea
of how you move in space with no, er, reaction pistol???
