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

    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

    The point of thrust is offset so you’d spin around uncontrollably.

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

    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 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 …

      Good point, don’t wank in the swimming pool either.

          Well I guess that’s fine. It’s a long time since I was at school but I don’t think hands can get pregananant.

      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 going to make a bet that most female astronauts are going to take hormones to stop menstruation. Which will also stop ovulation.

    I mean there are other reasons why this suggested is invalid . See other comments.

    But I’m also pointing out this one.

      Skipping up to three mensurations has been tested and found to be safe. They called it a tri-cycle

      More isn’t unsafe, just unknown to science

    By the same reasoning women should never sit on a single man’s computer chair either.

      Maybe they shouldn’t rub one out using the chair as sloppy seconds.
