Sex in Space reveals the truth about romantic rendezvous in Earth orbit and beyond. Author Laura S. Woodmansee separates the hard facts from the sci-fi stories.
Has anyone "done it" in space? How would two people make love in zero gravity, or on our low-gravity Moon? Discover the physics and science of sex and reproduction in space. The age of space tourism is just beginning! Hotel suites are being designed for zero-g sex in Earth orbit and on the Moon. Earthlings will soon be able to join the "100-Mile High" club. Learn what the space agencies are too embarrassed to talk about. Find out if NASA and the Russian Space Agency have run secret sex experiments.
There are very serious consequences of biological reproduction in space; NASA is considering sending multi gendered crews to Mars for years at a time. What if a crew member becomes pregnant? Does NASA sanction an off world abortion, or even more serious, does the baby get born? If it is born off world, what are it’s chances of survival on the trip home? Could the foetus even develop properly in a different gravity regime? Could it survive living on Earth after the trip home?
What will happen to the first baby conceived in space? Future humans will be born in space or on colonies on the Moon and Mars. Discover how they might differ from Earth-born humans. Sex in Space balances the giggle factor with the more serious scientific questions that arise when we think about the possibilities of sexual reproduction in space. This book covers everything that you think it does, and a lot more! Learn what the space agencies are too embarrassed to talk about. How would two people make love in zero gravity? Discover the physics and science of sex in space and what devices might assist lovers in space.
Learn how reproduction in space is different than on Earth. Find out what government space agencies are not researching and why. The age of space tourism is just beginning and honeymoons in space have already been booked! Sex in zero-gravity is the 'killer app' of space tourism. Hotel suites are being designed for zero-gravity sex in Earth orbit and Earthlings will soon be able to join the "100-Mile High" club.
