Group Of Scientists Exploring What Sex In Space Will Be Like

This image made available by the Space Telescope Science Institute on Thursday, Nov. 17, 2022, shows two of the farthest galaxies seen to date captured by the James Webb Space Telescope in the outer regions of the giant galaxy cluster Abell 2744. The galaxies are not inside the cluster, but many billions of light-years farther behind it. The galaxy labeled "1" existed only 450 million years after the big bang. The galaxy labeled "2" existed 350 million years after the big bang. (NASA, ESA, CSA, Tommaso Treu (UCLA), Zolt G. Levay (STScI) via AP)
  • We could soon be witnessing the emergence of sex in space tourism over the next decade. This would bring up a lot of interesting questions like for instance: how would tourists have sex in space and stay safe?
  • The query was posed by an international group of scientists, clinicians and other interested parties, who have authored a consultative green paper led by David Cullen, Professor of Astrobiology & Space Biotechnology at Cranfield University about the matter.
  • This is according to a press release by the institution published on Monday. The paper outlines that the emerging space tourism sector has not openly considered or discussed the risks of sex in space or conceived of and explored suitable mitigation approaches.
