Funny that this node happened to pop up just now... I live very close to
Cape Canaveral. Last week this topic was delved into on one of
Orlando's top talk/entertainment radio stations. Several
NASA employees called in, quite eager to give the listening public some interesting info. NASA has been studying human reproductive functions in
zero gravity for quite a while. Some of their research has included studies of male
erections and
ejaculation, amongst other things.
How could NASA
not study such definitive aspects of life funtions? After all, it takes 18 months for a space craft to travel from the
Earth to
Mars. We're talking a
three year round trip, excluding the prime opportunity for flight windows. Seriously, who could possibly go
that long without an orgasm?
