It’s been speculated about for years, of course, but the Shuttle doesn’t afford much privacy. But I’m thinking that with four women up there right now, what are the chances that someone hasn’t persuaded someone else to do it in the cupola? If so, of course, we won’t hear about it for years.

Who says 2 men didn’t do it long before?
Honeymoon of 3 dolphins. Did Stein just make that up?
A suborbital flight would provide several minutes of microgravity … depending on one’s standards, this might or might not be acceptable. But given the expense and the short time window, performance anxiety might be one hell of a risk … Do Virgin Galactic’s customers have to wear spacesuits?
There’s no doubt in my mind. ISS too. I wonder what the unspoken conventions are among ground control at ignoring that sort of thing?
Well, if you are looking for volunteers… 🙂
Well I’m certain the urine vacuum collection unit has had a good work out.
Now try to scrub that image from your mind, LoL.
It is difficult to believe that people who have spent (in some cases) up to a year in space haven’t “found release” while in orbit. As Josh suggests, it’s not a pretty image, but it has probably happened.
The first “release” in space will remain insignificant historically. 9 months later is the relevant part, that will be the milestone for humanity.
There was a married couple in orbit–Jan Davis and Mark Lee on STS-47. Not just married but NEWLYWEDS who met while training. There was a SpaceHab.
Can you believe they DIDN’T find some time and space together? No, me neither.
Good point Blue. I forgot about them.
Hmm a bunch of Right Stuff Alpha Males and quite a few women have gone to orbit … odds approach unity that there’s been zero gee sex already. We just need enough people in orbit for long enough times and reader’s milestone will happen.
