The reason? Female astronauts could accidentally get impregnated by stray fluids.As it turn...

    astronauts on Mir got porn sendt up, as well as having a small supply of alcohol for special occasions.

    Lol. Chances for accidentally short circuit something with stray fluid are much much higher than creating a new human this way.

    Jack off with a condom. Problem solved. That or make a designated jack off Suit that keeps all your fluids on one spot. A full body condom if you will. I know some here are born with one, but it wouldn’t hurt to have an extra layer.

    Listen.

    The shit that went down with Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore with the Boeing Starliner incident was written like a NASA fanfic.

    Stranded for 10 months alone on the ISS? I hope they used protection lmao

      I love your telling of the story but there is one very inconvenient detail.

      They definitely weren’t alone on the ISS, there was a full complement of crew from both Dragon and Soyuz in the station with them

    it’s highly unlikely, fluids stick together and make drops in the air which you can easily see and avoid. and also, come on, women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm floating through the air is even less likely that women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm swimming in the water of the public swimming pool …

      The chlorination of a public swimming pool is deadly to sperm, so I imagine the chances on a spaceship are a lot higher.

      Also “easily seeing and avoiding” is just not realistic. You don’t have eyes on your vulva that are focused on checking for stray sperm globs 24/7.

    I’m not looking to have a baby, but I gotta admit that if I were an astronaut and the one-in-a-million chance of getting impregnated by floating sperm happened, that’d be incredible. I’d have the first baby conceived in space! What a cool story to have in a family’s lore.

    Of course, that’s provided it survives the rest of the trip.

    It’s a valid emergency propulsion method and I’m sick of being told it’s not.
