| International Space Station (Hmm...) |
Just because humans are hurtling through space doesn’t mean that they won’t want to do what came naturally back on Earth.
The big question is:
How does that work (or not) in little-to-no gravity?
As astronomer Chris Impey pointed out during an NPR
interview, “all your capillaries and your muscles are designed to deal with the tug of gravity, and you won’t have that.”
Impey also warned that “Newton’s third law of action and reaction” could interfere with certain “methods of sex that you might use on Earth.”
Don’t have a clue what Impey is getting at? This might be a good incentive for boning up on high-school biology and physics...
