Have astronauts ever had sex in space?

By now, I assume most people have heard about the female NASA astronaut, Lisa Nowak, who is charged with attempted first degree murder. Apparently, she attempted to kidnap and kill a rival female astronaut, who was in a relationaship with a male astronaut. NASA officials said Wednesday it will review psychological screening assessments of astronauts after Nowak's arrest and that they will determine if there are "lessons to be learned" from the incident.

While this is indeed an unfortunate story, when I discussed it with others, they all thought the relationship was happening in space. I countered that, "No, the space program is too regimented, and would never allow a physical encounter in space" to which they replied, "Oh, yes, the American government tells you everything that they're doing in space. They're testing methods to be used when we get to Mars!"

While I find this notion absurb, does anyone know if any US or Russian astronauts/cosmonauts, either officially or unofficially, have ever tried "knocking the boots" up yonder? Be quite a cool claim to fame. Please let me know if this should have posted posted somewhere else.

Posted elsewhere and to even think that it hasn't happened already is the ultimate in naivity.

Sorry, must've missed it. Naivity? Got any proof or is that just random speculation?

Eurovol has sources in high places.

I heard last year from a girl who works for Nasa that there has definitely been zero-G romping.

I guess Astronauts are like just everyone else, they get horny and get it on with each other. I guess we would not get to hear most of the stuff. But this woman definitely belongs in the funny farm and not in NASA's program.

Ask yourself one question rox4jox, would you if you could?

The Guardian: Astronauts test sex in space - but did the earth move?

From today:

This picture shows "SAM" the resus monkey on board the Mercury test flight. In this picture he has just been shown Yuri Gagarin's boner and is preparing for re-entry:

Zero-G-Spot sex suit.

Where would all this be without Velcro?

OK.. so if it has happened, I bet it was the Russians first, not the USA. Other than landing on the moon, there were just about first at everything else. Anybody know when the first male-female opportunity might have been?

do monkeys count?

Arshoo, I know you're not picky, but I at least thought you kept it to humans.

I didn't expect that they already sterilize in the screening process.

Monkeys were probably restrained for flight, so I'd rule out monkey sex.

@Keydeck not me, not too many indians been in space anyway, american astros aint picky, one look at DW will tell you that surely!

Wrong dude, it's when the restraints and the black rubber come out of the closet that space monkeys really start to party.

Funnily enough I was wondering if anyone other than astronauts would have had sex in space, but I'd forgotten the monkeys.

Wasn't that first space monkey named Salami... no wait I think it was Ham.

***houston to space craft, check starboard side we heard banging***

Dirty feckers are always going on about thrusters as well.

bet they have a hard time finding that Zero-G spot

Most articles suggest the thought is more impressive than the practice. Wonder how they know that? Anyway, lab animals have been doing it in space for years. From this, they calculate that humans would only have a problem reproducing somewhere aroud the 26th week of gestation. This is the time that gravity is needed for the fetal development. Sorry to go all scientific on you, back to the regular scheduled fantasy trip.

Some guys have a hard time finding that here on Earth.

So does this mean we have no hope of reproduction in space if we can get past the 26th week? Otherwise I guess it's the Moon or Mars! Don't hold your breath.

Jesus fucking christ, who gives a shit. Why do I say that? Fucking simple, astronauts are not some super cool space-cowboys, they're boring fucking geeks who are into maths and don't smoke dope, or drink loads of beer. They go to the gym more often than the bunch of fucking cocksuckers who work in the sales office next door. Female astronauts are therefore probably not ever worth the bother of getting any fucking blood in it, let alone worth a squirt. They're all too fucking busy working out some boring fuck maths problem.

You people make me sick.

Thinking about this some more, sex in space is a fucking shit idea, because it involves sending a fucking woman into space*. Monkey, monkeys have gone into space, but remember that woman they tried years ago? The teacher? The "what does this ´button do" woman? BOOOOOOOOM. Idiot idea.

*Unless you count 2 men fucking as "sex", which of course it fucking isn't, its faggotness. Chalk and fucking cheese dude, chalk and fucking cheese.

winglette told me on Tuesday that there are some rumors that the married couple in space a few years ago got up to a little freaky freaky. Funny to think of in any event.

Dude, this is possibly the worst post ever. I would nominate it as the worst post of the century or 2007, whichever is allowed. Definitely stupidest post of the week award is due.

Oh fucking really? Feel fucking free to add it to your reportoire of bullshit then. Free of charge.

Is the bag empty?

I buy in truckloads.

Got some to spare?

Here's a funny thought: when the man ejaculates is he then propelled backwards, being in zero gravity?

There's a few people i know of who should have been shot into space

Yes, but NASA developed a BPCT unit to negate the effects of that.

Aren't these astronauts filmed Big Brother style, 24/7 while they are up there?

Astronauts have been heterosexually banging away ever since the first woman went into space. It was all part of the space race: first satelllite, first animal in space, first man in space, first shag in space. Besides, who would turn down the shot at joining the 300km-high club?
