Elton John once sang:
“Rocket Man,
oo oooo”.
The same words may soon be spoken by a rocket woman -- when sex finally happens in outer space.
As David Bowie’s Space Oddity warbled:
“Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows”
Are we listening to a pre-extra marital affair justification?
One would have to be a little naive if we would think that sex in space would never happen.
An urban legend tells us NASA already conducted sex experiments on a space shuttle mission in 1996.
Remember Moonraker? James "007" Bond (played by Roger Moore) got it “on” with Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) in the cargo bay of a space shuttle.
Space shuttle flights do provide lots of time and opportunity to do the “deed”. So why not?
Here’s some reasons why it would/should never happen:
* Could be used against you (lawsuit) -- a form of sex in the workplace.
* Good chance you might push the wrong button.
* Heavy breathing depletes your oxygen supply quickly.
* If you like sleeping around – partners are limited. Most crews are all male - can be a good or a bad thing -- depending on your orientation.
* NASA has cameras are everywhere.
* Smoking afterwards is not possible.
* Some countries you are flying over have some sexual positions that are illegal.
* Space suits and helmets are not very sexy.
* Stalled countdowns and misfires are embarrassing.
* Weightlessness would make it difficult for either partner to stay on top.
* When says “take-off” or “re-entry” – easily could be misinterpreted.
And the number one reason that SPACE SEX will never happen is
TWO WORDS: motion sickness.
