        Um acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.

          Wrong. The earth orbits the space station. Ignore the epicyclic motion of other nearby bodies.

            I believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon’s pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth

                Oh, seems I’m wrong, well that’s a bit incongruent if you ask me. Since the force of gravity from earlier isn’t that much lower in low earth orbit :/

                  Remember that gravity is relative. The earth is accelerating the ISS astronauts same as us, but relative to their inertial system they are weightless. There is no actually there. Relativity is relativity.

    Hypothesis, theory, or experiment?

        Wouldn’t the hypothesis be first, then tested via experiment, then after a significant amount of peer review finally confirmed as a theory?

            Kinda depends on the context of the word theory. In non-scientific settings you’ll hear people say “I have a theory…” as in they have an idea or speculation.

            In a scientific context, a ‘theory’ is a pretty high standard that’s almost interchangeable with a ‘fact’.

    False. Leg position is different, one allows additional bracing. NASA virgins caught red handed.

        yes, i would support this endeavor if we must be certain. for science.

        so in the history of all space programs what are the odds no one has done the deed? im not sure i believe nasa when they say ‘not us’.

          Tbh, it might actually be no one. For one, these are some of the most professional people on the planet - wildest deviations I can think was someone smuggling a sandwich on board, and one of them bringing a gorilla costume.

          Two, a lot of being an astronaut is pretty undignified when it comes to waste management, and they can’t just take a shower, so I’d wager whatever sponge bath they’re able to pull off likely leaves a lot to be desired. So, not really prime sexy time.

          And physically, sex in zero-g seems like one of those things that sounds fun on paper, but in practice would be a lot of work to the point of not being worth the effort.

          …I do wonder what zero-g would do to gestation and development, especially over the course of multiple generations. Probably the kind of thing we should start with mice though - humans take too long.

            The soviets tried letting rats breed in zero g but they didn’t seem to manage to copulate. A number of smaller organisms have been able to breed in zero g and/or microgravity including c elegans, fruit flies, and cockroaches. They have shown that mouse IVF is at least theoretically possible (petri dish embryos are possible) but it doesn’t seem that they’ve tried actual breeding since that soviet rat experiment.

            One of my favorite theories on classic “grey” aliens is that they look like that due to a native low-gravity environment: big heads and eyes, frail little bodies.

      if you were in actual space, you’d be dead

      if you were inside a spaceship, there still is sound because there’s air inside

      how do you think the people in the ISS talk?
