No Space Sex… Yet, for Mother Russia
With humans blasting off towards the heavens for 50 years now, isn’t it likely that a couple of them, well, you know, thought the ‘mile high’ club was a bit too amateur?
Pravda reports that:
Russian scientists have resolutely reacted to the article published inThe Guardian newspaper. The article said that Russian and American astronauts have sex on board the International Space Station. “Those are nothing but ‘sexual’ fantasies,” they claim.
MSNBC adds that Rumors have long swirled that astronauts may have hooked up in orbit, perhaps even as part of secret sex-in-space experiments run by the Russian or American governments. But those stories are likely the product of overactive — and overheated — imaginations, experts say.
A Russian space official, for example, has been quoted as categorically denying his country’s space program has conducted any such weightless experiments.”There is no official or unofficial evidence that there were instances of sexual intercourse or the carrying out of sexual experiments in space,” Valery Bogomolov, the deputy director of the Moscow-based Institute of Biomedical Problems, told the news agency Interfax. “At least, in the history of Russian or Soviet space exploration, this most certainly was not the case.”
But Bogomolov doesn’t know about NASA astronauts:
“As for American space exploration, I just don’t have the information to categorically deny that,” Bogomolov told Interfax. “In any case we do not have any official data. There are just anecdotal rumors, insinuations in the press, which are not worth trusting.”
I understand that there could be some problems with sex in space, but I’m sorry, but I just don’t see how one could resist. Float over here, baby.
