In January 1991, a couple of crazy kids got married. That these particular “kids” were in their late 30s, were astronauts, and were keeping their marriage a secret from their bosses at NASA only added to the romance. Mark Lee and Jan Davis met during training for a space shuttle mission and kept their relationship quiet long enough to ensure that it would be difficult to replace them on the mission, as NASA normally would have done under its then-unwritten rule that banned married astronauts from flying together. And so, in September 1992, Lee and Davis became the first (and, after the unwritten rule became a written one, possibly last) married couple in space. America had just one question for them. You know. Eh? Eh? Wink-wink. NASA says no humans have had sex in space. There’s nothing other than speculation to suggest otherwise. (Well, speculation and a vague sense that we would want to try it, given half a chance.) But you aren’t a total junior-high pervert for wondering. Sex — or, rather, reproduction — has piqued the curiosity of scientists, too. When they went to space together, Lee and Davis even spent some time artificially inseminating frog eggs for the greater good. (So, somebody got lucky on that trip. Sort of.) snip... http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/space-sex-is-serious-business/
If you are interested.... one of my favourite near death experience accounts has an entire chapter on sex...... in fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and even higher dimensions of space time...... Would you like the link to that or do you consider this off topic?
Good point...... just scroll down to chapter ten and you will run into some of the most logical insights on the spiritual purposes for sex...... on top of reproduction..... that I have ever read. http://www.allaboutchristian.com/spirituality/
I agree that it fits better over in Religion and Philosophy but...... there is a possible connection when some new ideas are taken into consideration...... http://www.politicalforum.com/index...begin-in-matter-or-fundamental-energy.465052/ Where did Intelligence begin, in matter or fundamental energy? and I took your advice..... http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/the-spiritual-meaning-and-intentions-for-sex.499854/ The spiritual meaning and intentions for sex....
No doubt any manned flights into the vastness of space to colonize another planet will need all God's blessings and all of our prayers to succeed. But in this topic, the science is the focus.
