      I don’t know about that, but Newton’s third law of motion makes sex in space fairly awkward. You bump uglies, and now those uglies want to be on opposite sides of the room.

      • I am absolutely sure the first sex in space record has been filled, even if it’s not yet public information.

        We’ve also seen space-trained astronauts who’ve gone a bit loopy, about relationships, no less. Fortunately they were planetside at the time.

          I didn’t say it hadn’t been done. I’d say it likely has. I’m also saying it will be more awkward than having sex in an airplane bathroom to get into the mile high club.

            This, I do not question, but I highly expect horny astronauts to rise to the challenge.

            Sadly, I also expect a first sexual assault in space will be forthcoming soon enough. We as a species continue to struggle with the whole opt-in consent notion.
