<font color="yellow">You'd think they'd be for it, what better teams to send on long duration voyages than married couples? You already know they get along (or should). </font><br /><br />Nah... as every married people know, spending time with your spouse can only create more arguments and it divert useful energy away from work and into chaos.... <br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

so, 3 married couples to Mars? <br /><br />it might work because the presence of the other astronauts will dissipate tensions. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Well, if money is the big issue, then being in space should result in marital bliss, since you know she'll never go off on a shopping spree, and they can't fire you from your job so long as you are on the mission (and they have to keep paying you). So, you might be headed for divorce court after the mission is over and you've both got fat bank accounts, but while you are in space, you shouldn't have those problems to deal with.

You know a good place to buy a boat is in Florida, but the best deal is usually in Bahama.<br /><br />Why? Because the retire folks from midwest come down to Florida, and their life time dream is to buy a boat and sail to Bahama!!<br /><br />Well... after a life time of husband working away from home during the day, now they are stucked seeing each other, and ONLY each other, for 24/7. By the time the boat reaches Bahama, the wife is pi$$ed off walking off mumbling about going back to Ohio by herself and the husband is so discouraged and did not want to sail back to Florida by himself he'd soon dump the boat and fly back to Florida instead !! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I'll note that Rutan and Yeager were not married, nor did his brother do any sort of psychological compatibility testing for his crew selections. I suspect that married space travel will only expose issues and incompatibilities that pre-existed the mission.<br /><br />I suspect on Dicks part, being stuck in a box for nine days with a woman with no sanitary facilities can leave you with significant olofactory negative reinforcement against their presence in the future. The cockpit of Voyager is significantly smaller than even the most cramped space capsules.

True, after spending many weekends and hoildays camping in places far from a shower and too cold to bother washing in a stream sometimes it is more offensive to the nose when someone breaks out the deodarant and starts spraying it around.

Just as well: because at altitude one tends to pass gas more easily, too. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!  LEO is a <strong><em>Prison</em></strong> -- It's time for a <em><strong>JAILBREAK</strong></em>!!</p> </div>

The divers who opened the Apollo capsules often had difficulty coping with the stench of which the astronauts themselves had ceased to be aware.

On a long duration mission, if you have a mixed crew you can be sure sex will happen.<br />That and, since you have a bunch of smart people, somebody will figure out how to distill alcohol <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br />Being in deep space will be completely different than long duration missions in orbit. Live comunication will be impossible, and the psychological boost of seeing the Earth - and the fact you're just one Soyuz ride from it- will be gone. People will have to experiment and have fun in order to maintain their sanity.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

<i>On a long duration mission, if you have a mixed crew you can be sure sex will happen.</i><br /><br />How long duration are you talking? Keep in mind that most astronauts are probably individuals with the type of character and moral values that would prevent them from having casual sex with whoever happened to be available.

 

[mlorrey]

What is this? Moral Majority In Space?<br /><br />Test pilots may be very careful in testing experimental vehicles, but in my experience many are party animals off the clock. NASA may still be fixated on the 'choir boy in space' mode, but private space ventures will not be so anal retentive, particularly once people are free to buy their way onto space missions. Look at the Soyuz translunar cruise proposal. Imagine some billionaire playboy booking that for a jaunt with his girlfriend. The Russians will take the money and deck out the orbital module as a honeymoon suite, with their pilot trained in performing shipboard weddings...<br /><br />Once Bigelow gets into the market, look out. One of the biggest reasons some rich guy will pay tons of money for a stay for two in Bigelows space hotel would be to impress a girl enough to get his rocks off.

 

[vt_hokie]

Sure, that may well be. I'm just saying that the type of person who qualifies to be a NASA astronaut today is not likely to be the party animal you speak of. And many (most?) are married. I just don't buy into the argument that long duration missions mean an absolute certainty of complications due to sexual relations between crew members. Sure, it's a potential issue, just as it is in numerous work environments here on Earth.

Sex in space is nothing new....<br /><br />Afterall, James Bond has already demonstrated it... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<font color="yellow"> I just don't buy into the argument that long duration missions mean an absolute certainty of complications due to sexual relations between crew members.</font><br /><br />I agree with vt_hokie on this one. <br /><br />First of all, as most of us male know that it is the females that initiate any sexual encounter, not us male. Now the females in the astronaut core are all "alpha females". They compete hard among men, both intellectually and physically to "earned" their spots in the astronaut core. They have their eyes on the ball and would not jeopardize their careers and missions just to have an affair in zero gravity.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Yes I have to concur - Helms. You just gotta respect a woman with that much stamina - 210.96 days!

I agree with astronaut Mike Mullane, who, in his recent book "Riding Rockets", said that while Sally Ride was the first U.S. woman in space, Judy Resnik was the first "hottie" in space. He should know. He flew with her on STS-41D. <br /><br /> - Ed Kyle
