In 1992, the astronaut couple went to space without concealing their relationship, did there be a s

In 1992, the American Endeavour was ready to ignite at the launch base.

With a loud roar, the huge space shuttle broke free of gravity and flew smoothly into space.

However, even the United States, which was in the White House at this time, never thought that among the astronauts of this operation, there was a husband and wife ......

After the return trip, everyone was curious.

The astronaut couple, who concealed that everyone was together in private,Are there any untold "stories" that happen in space?

Prior to this, there was an unwritten rule in the United States that astronaut couples could not accept space missions at the same time.

The origin of this regulation is due to a tragic ...... in 1986

On the Challenger that year, exactly two of the seven astronauts were husband and wife.

They wanted to accept the space mission together, to be able to accompany each other in the lonely and deep space, and to have an unprecedented romantic trip.

However, an accident caused the Challenger to malfunction, and none of the seven astronauts survived, and the couple died in the vast space.

The death of the astronaut couple made everyone mourn, and the United States has since had a rule that husbands and wives cannot fly into space at the same time.

But this rule was difficult for Mark Lee and Jane Davis to accept.

The two met at work and were attracted to each other, becoming a couple in love.

And for astronaut couples, there's nothing more romantic than traveling together in space.

Therefore, in order to be able to go to space together and fulfill their wish to join hands in space, the two quietly concealed their relationship and held a simple marriage ceremony in private without telling anyone.

It wasn't until the moment before the "Endeavour" took off that they "mischievously" informed their superiors of the relationship between the two.

Knowing this sudden situation, the headquarters was also very embarrassed, but the take-off was imminent, and it was too late to replace people now.

In desperation, the headquarters could only watch the two violate the rules and fly into space hand in hand with a smile.

Endeavour spent four months in space.

The astronaut lovers spent more than 100 days during this period.

During this time, they had many opportunities to be alone, and the interior of the shuttle was spacious and well-equipped.

As NASA's fifth space shuttle, Endeavour is much larger than your average spacecraft.

In addition to the cockpit and equipment room, the astronauts have separate rest areas, galleys and sanitary stations, as well as a spacious flight deck, middle deck and other areas in the nose area.

Therefore, when they returned to the ground, many people chatted with them and asked them "intentionally or unintentionally" if there were any "interesting stories" that happened in space.

In the face of this kind of question, they seemed to have made a confession in advance, and expressed their denial in unison.

However, such an answer made others think even more, thinking that they were helping each other cover up their embarrassment, and for a while, their matter became a "gossip hotspot" for many people after dinner.

But is this really the case?

It is said that Chinese like gossip, but in fact, Americans are even more than that.

To this day, many Americans are still curious about whether "space intimacy" ever happened.

And for such a problem, scientists are actually secretly paying attention.

Naturally, the attention of scientists is not for the sake of gossip, but for the ongoing discussion in the scientific communityCan humans really thrive in space?

With the development of space science and technology and the gradual improvement of human space exploration, more and more countries have set their sights on the vast universe.

Many scientists are convinced that the future of mankind will definitely go beyond the earth and into space to thrive.

In this way, whether human beings can continue to survive in space and reproduce has become a very important topic.

However, for the astronaut couple back then, did Mark Lee and Jane Davis ever "intimacy" happen in space?But they said it couldn't happen.

Scientists have suggested that intimacy in space is more difficult than in freefall in a skydive.

1.In space, humans are weightless, unable to move normally, but also affect the flow of blood.

2.In the weightless state of space, the blood of human beings will surge upward, and the blood of the lower body will not be able to reach the state of being on the earth, and the blood will not be able to go down.

Therefore, all kinds of "ill-intentioned" speculations are naturally nonsense, just everyone's fantasy.

But then again, if humanity wants to eventually go to space, then thriving in space is an unavoidable topic.

Is there really no way to thrive in space?

And has such an experiment really been done in human history?

There have been doubts from people who are very interested in this area:

Compared with the earliest space vehicles, today's space shuttle space can be called "outrageous".

From the earliest Apollo spacecraft with only a small space, to today's galleys, the rest room is fully equipped with conditions for experiments.

Since the advent of Mir in 1976 and the first multi-person space flight, each voyage has had a special mission, many of which require a combination of men and women to perform the mission.

None of the countries have denied this, and there has never been such a plan.

However, such a reaction has also aroused opposition from some American scientists.

They told the U.S. space department that if human beings want to break through the shackles of the earth and become an interstellar race, then the reproduction of space is indispensable, and it is wrong for the space department to take no action!

For such a statement, the US space department gave an explanation:"It's not that we're not without action, on the contrary, we've been experimenting with space reproduction for decades. ”

The U.S. space agency said that in the past few decades, they have done a lot of research on the reproduction of animals in space, including a variety of amphibians, mammals, including chickens, geese, flies, cockroaches and a series of species reproduction research, including human genetic factors.

Faced with such results, some small research groups have expressed skepticism, arguing that animal reproduction cannot fully deduce the trajectory of humans.

If human beings can only reproduce through artificiality, it will be a great neglect of human intimate experience, and it will also have an impact on human civilization and ethics.

For this reason, the scientific community has launched a heated discussion ......

No matter how noisy the scientific community is, the results of the research have long been provenThe reproduction of traditional human "intimacy" is not yet possible in space.

Because the high radiation in space can have an impact on the gene chain.

To take an inappropriate analogy, just like many genetically modified foods in space back then, the changes caused by radiation are completely uncontrollable, and human beings can only be passive at present

Humanity currently has no clue about the changes caused by radiation.

Therefore, even if there is an "intimate relationship" in space, then the genetic material has to withstand radiation, and it is difficult to survive normally, compared to the normal cells of humans, the genetic material is too fragile to withstand the impact of radiation.

However, although the current situation is temporary, it has also attracted the attention of many scientific research organizations, and NASA's scientific research plans have gradually paid attention to the problem of space reproduction.

However, mankind still has a long way to go in the exploration of space, and this is only one of the scientific research goals, and it is difficult to predict when progress will be made.

Today, as human space shuttles fly into space one after another, many problems are gradually being solved.

In the face of the ultimate goal of mankind - the sea of stars, I believe that with the continuous progress of science and technology, one day human beings will overcome these problems in front of them and finally complete the leap of civilization!
