In 2004, NASA proposed "chemical castration" of astronauts to respond to sexual needs during space travel, a proposal that sparked global attention. Although experts later denied the news, on the issue of space sex needs, experts said that preventing space sex is the best strategy.
So why do experts shy away from the possibility of space reproduction? Can space really give birth to life?
People have always had great curiosity and anticipation about sex in space, and it has even been depicted in science fiction. However, NASA did not give a clear answer to this question.
In fact, with the deepening of human space exploration, whether space can become a new place for human beings to reproduce life has become an unavoidable question.
In 1992, the launch of an astronaut couple, Mark Lee and Jane Davis, pushed this issue to the forefront. Their stories show us that the power of love and life can overcome all odds, even in the harsh environment of space.
In the process of human production and development, space technology has made significant progress, but this scientific research is still accompanied by many risks. In order to ensure the safety of space operations, there is an unwritten rule in the US space program: astronaut couples are prohibited from participating in space missions.
Mark and Jane are aware of this, so they keep it a secret until they go on a mission. When the Endeavour rocket lifted off, NASA learned their secret, but it was too late.
Thankfully, everything went well and people were relieved a bit. However, with Mark and Jane and the other astronauts will be on the shuttle for days, the long loneliness of space travel may leave them craving the company of their kind.
Adventures in space are always full of curiosity, and there are many theories about the couple's mysterious behavior. Some people say that they may bring a different space baby to Earth, and some people even ** his IQ and physical strength will surpass ordinary people.
However, during their eight-day space trip, the only visible interaction was a hurried wave in the corridor of the experiment module, not even skin-to-skin kissing. Despite unconfirmed reports that the Soviet Union conducted space experiments in 1982, the couple did not do so.
Either way, their journey into space is full of unknowns and mysteries, making people look forward to it and curious.
Regarding the study of space **, there was news that the Soviet Union and the United States had conducted relevant research. Although experts have been silent about this, Frank, a life scientist at NASA, has made it clear that although we do not currently have research that supports human sexuality, it does not mean that research in this area is not important.
At the same time, scientists are also realizing that sex is an instinctive human desire that can become a problem during long space expeditions. To cope with this problem, scientists came up with the idea of creating conditions for astronauts in this regard during flights of more than 90 days.
Although these ideas have been hotly discussed, more and more scientists have begun to think that they are necessary with the development of space flight.
Human beings are social animals, and ** is a natural emotion, which provides a key guarantee for astronauts to complete space missions stably. As human exploration of Mars deepens, the distance from Mars to Earth can take months or even years, putting astronauts under pressure for the most demanding in long-term space missions.
In the last century, Soviet cosmonauts, after a year of continuous work in space, were often depressed and depressed due to lack of satisfaction. Therefore, solving the ** problems of astronauts in space is essential for their mental health and productivity.
Despite the best efforts of experts to avoid the question or opt for astronauts over the age of 50, human sexual desire – which is as important as eating and drinking – cannot be completely curbed.
This will have a direct impact on the successful exploration of Mars in the future and whether the need for neutrality in space can be met. Since 2001, when American billionaire Dennis became the first traveler in space, more and more people have been eager to achieve their dream of flying.
In order to satisfy mankind's fantasy of space, Space Island announced that it will invest billions of yuan in the next few years to build a "love house" that simulates the space environment.
As soon as this news was released, it received a response from countless people. In addition, the science fiction movie "The Expanse" also unabashedly depicts the scene of human sexual activity in space 200 years later.
However, reality can be far more difficult than what is in the movies.
The problem of weightlessness in space poses many challenges to the daily life of humans, especially when it comes to intimate behavior. Simple actions such as kissing and hugging, due to weightlessness, can cause the astronaut's partner to be bounced far away.
To achieve more intimate encounters, astronauts need to use specific tools, but this is as difficult as moving on single parallel bars. In addition, in the zero-gravity environment, it is difficult for the human body to perspire on its own, and the sweat cannot be dissolved, resulting in sticky sweat adhering to the human body like a dog skin plaster during activity.
When hugging, it is the sweat of one hand that is hugged instead of touching the other person's skin, which will undoubtedly destroy the original intimacy. Finally, due to the rapid change of the surrounding environment when the spaceship enters space, the blood on the body will rush upwards and the blood pressure will also increase, which makes the desire in space far smaller than on Earth.
In space, microgravity can cause men's sexual organs to swell, which can have an impact on their self-esteem. Although much progress has been made in aerospace research, we are not sure enough about surviving and operating in space.
Therefore, for the privacy of astronauts in space, it may need to be carried out under Earth surveillance. A British astronaut has pointed out that while it is possible to be in space, it may require a quick fix because the spacecraft needs to be outside the atmosphere for 2 minutes and does not enjoy much privacy.
Although the space "man-making" operation is necessary, it still has a long way to go.
In order to survive in space for a long time, we must study the possibilities of life in space. However, the current situation is not promising. The weightless environment makes the primitive way of conception infeasible for humans, and how to solve this problem, and how to make the fertilized egg develop normally in a weightless environment, needs to be studied in depth.
Even if a successful conception is achieved, the weightless environment can seriously affect the development of vital organs such as bones and nerves in the fetus.
In outer space, there is a special hybrid radiation, which is composed of gamma rays, high-energy protons and cosmic rays, which is extremely harmful to the human body. Little is known about the effects of this radiation on the initial cells of the embryo**, and there are currently no effective preventive measures.
Therefore, the act of giving birth to life in space can lead to tragedy. Although there is no specific research on whether humans can give birth to life in space, in 1983, the former Soviet Union once launched a pregnant mouse into space, and after a five-and-a-half-day flight, it lost weight rapidly and its endocrine condition was also seriously affected.
The gestation and growth of life in space faces many challenges. For example, small animals born from space creatures will have slenderer bones than their counterparts on Earth due to the lack of gravity during development.
In addition, sending other creatures such as salamanders, frogs, etc., into space, can also cause problems with their development. Not to mention, new life in space has to deal not only with the effects of oxygen, pressure, gravity, and other factors, but also with the impact of the space environment on human medicine.
Therefore, it can be said that the process of giving birth to life in space is fraught with difficulties and challenges.
