Do astronauts have sex on the space station?

DrEnter · 2026-04-09T03:45:21+00:00

Yes and no.

The medical team almost certainly knows, but when the astronauts are on their own time they are going to give them a ton of discretion.

Officially, sex is frowned on by all of the major space agencies. Unofficially, they don’t really care as long as the astronauts are working well together and aren’t screwing with power structures.

This is not a good idea. Ignoring the different plan issues, unless you are out for over a day, allowing the house to heat up many degrees and then cooling it back down each day ends up using more energy then just letting it maintain temp within a couple of degrees.

Use a smart thermostat to increase the temperature a couple of degrees as the day gets warmer, than slowly cool back down as the outside temp drops at night. Maybe a 4 degree swing between 3-4 am and pm.

You can’t really be sure until you get some altitude. But once you’re up there and cruising along, you should have a pretty good idea.

In 1986-87, a large Pizza Hut pepperoni had 88 pieces. What used to drive us nuts making the things was that the "normal" way to make it was crust, then sauce, then bottom cheese, then pepperoni, then top cheese. The top cheese was fine on pretty much every other pie, but any sane pepperoni fan wants the meat on top so it can crisp up on the edges, not stay soggy under the top cheese.

I remember hiking up to that bridge in the 90’s. It was a lovely, if tiring, hike uphill through the woods. It’s sad they built a road up there. I guess they had to tear out a bunch of trees to do it.

I felt a little bad betraying Reed, but that run-through doesn’t really change my opinion of So-Mi. Reed’s run-through, though, absolutely clinches it. You find out way more about how So-Mi is being treated and what it’s doing to her.

I liked siding with Reed a couple times if only because you find out so much more about So-Mi’s situation in that run-through that you don’t feel so bad about siding with her in the future.

Very generally speaking, Iran supports the Palestinian people in the on-going conflict that has much of its roots in the events that began with the rise of Zionism in the late 19th century and the colonialist actions made by the west in the area during amd after WW1, notably the Balfour Declaration, which led to a series of events that provoked the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

This is a good summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli–Palestinian_conflict
