Quote :

"US and Russian astronauts have had sex in space for separate research programmes on how human beings might survive years in orbit, according to a book published yesterday. Pierre Kohler, a respected French scientific writer, says in The Final Mission: Mir, The Human Adventure that the subject is taboo both at Nasa and at mission control in Moscow, but that cosmic couplings have taken place. "The issue of sex in space is a serious one," he says. "The experiments carried out so far relate to missions planned for married couples on the future International Space Station, the successor to Mir. Scientists need to know how far sexual relations are possible without gravity." He cites a confidential Nasa report on a space shuttle mission in 1996. A project codenamed STS-XX was to explore sexual positions possible in a weightless atmosphere. Twenty positions were tested by computer simulation to obtain the best 10, he says. "Two guinea pigs then tested them in real zero-gravity conditions. The results were videotaped but are considered so sensitive that even Nasa was only given a censored version." Only four positions were found possible without "mechanical assistance". The other six needed a special elastic belt and inflatable tunnel, like an open-ended sleeping bag. Mr Kohler says: "One of the principal findings was that the classic so-called missionary position, which is so easy on earth when gravity pushes one downwards, is simply not possible.""

Riiiiigghhhht, let me on that bitch, not some rocket scientist, if they really want to see it work.

oh apparently, the positions are not as feasible as i initially thought....bad form, space

wait till the porn industry gets their own space ships

12/3/2007 11:07:02 AM

so where do we sign up for this?

12/3/2007 11:07:20 AM

hahaha, this video has to be the most hilarious sequence of failures

12/3/2007 11:07:42 AM

just wait til it leaks

12/3/2007 11:08:10 AM

picture dodging your own weightless skeet skeet after you pull out.

12/3/2007 11:09:21 AM

I want picture of the astronauts who tried it out

12/3/2007 11:10:19 AM

^you mean the video of the guinea pigs?

12/3/2007 11:10:57 AM

i don't, they're probably butt ugly and wear glasses and are nerds

12/3/2007 11:11:08 AM

I could see where reproduction may be affected...

But people will find a way to get it on when they want too.

PS - these astronauts get to have extra-marital sex and tell their wives it's "for god and country"

12/3/2007 11:16:06 AM

fuck you stupid bitch

12/3/2007 11:16:19 AM

nope, just regular pictures of them. I'm curious what sort of people got to do these tests

glasses and nerds are hot

12/3/2007 11:16:52 AM

no humans got to do the test

all zero grav sex means is that one of the two needs to be hanging on to the other

12/3/2007 11:54:47 AM

man i bet a zero g facial is wierd

12/3/2007 11:56:08 AM

Does this mean Nasa will be putting out a "How to have sex in space" video?

12/3/2007 11:56:48 AM

I am not into porn that much but I want to see this!

12/3/2007 12:07:42 PM

12/3/2007 12:10:33 PM

some nerd finally found out a way to get laid.

they should do it with porn stars... you know for an expert opinion

hahaha, the 1950's esque video would be hilarious

12/3/2007 12:12:56 PM

wait do they mean guinea pigs as in they got 2 humans to do this or guinea pigs as in the animal?

12/3/2007 12:13:33 PM

I'm sure this already went on before the study

it's lonely out in space

12/3/2007 12:14:48 PM

I remember this being heavily denied by NASA.

Also, astronauts aren't nerds. They're technically athletic superstars that also happen to be very intelligent.

how long until porn studios start releasing "apollo 13: sex in space"

I thought you were joking before ... do you really think literal guinea pigs get it on in missionary position?

12/3/2007 12:24:51 PM

i think you mean "apollo 69: sex in space"

12/3/2007 12:26:02 PM

^they tried that but 69 was one of those positions not possible in 0 gravity.

12/3/2007 12:26:32 PM

better go ahead and get in on page one.

12/3/2007 12:27:00 PM

apollo 13"

12/3/2007 12:29:04 PM

but...anything is possible in porn.

12/3/2007 12:29:12 PM

i dont get how nasa can like sanction fucking...i thought taking 2 animals to fuck on a nasa trip was more believable than nasa actually letting 2 humans fuck in space for "research"

12/3/2007 12:29:28 PM

like fuck! like omg i just said fuck twice. like wow!

not to mention the fact that they censored the video. don't think that would be necessary for rodent sex

Are we to understand that nasal scientists developed said tunnel for this specific purpose?
