Embryonic stem cells behave very differently outside the pull of Earth's gravity, researchers suggest -- a finding leading scientists to fret that procreation in space may be fraught with peril.



Captain Kirk combined sex appeal with space exploration on 'Star Trek.' But let's hope that sex appeal didn't lead to much sex: New research indicates that babies wouldn't develop properly in outer space.

The "microgravity" that astronauts experience orbiting Earth on the space shuttle or International Space Station can ravage their bodies on lengthy missions, atrophying muscles, weakening bones and causing irregular heartbeats. To advance longer and farther into space, researchers want to curtail these risks.
By analyzing the effects of weightlessness on the cellular level, scientists in Australia now believe they have pinpointed the roots of its harmful consequences. Microgravity apparently tampers with stem cells, which all other cells originate from. Stem cells normally act as a repair system for the body by replenishing its tissues. By uncovering the origins of these problems, the investigators now hope to design remedies that can truly help fix them.

I was just wondering about this recently, after watching Event Horizon (movie)-I'll leave it at that. Anyway, this is the first thing I have seen on the topic of sex-child birth-effects of space etc. Anyone else with more info?

I wonder if NASA has been conducting test-secretly. Maybe that is what causes the one woman to freak out on the other two astornauts. Maybe that is why they all got off fairly lightly-considering the charges etc.

It wouldn't surprise me-that's for sure.

Easy fix.., make ships that have the exact gravity that we experience here on Earth
Instead of microgravity. They showed these types of ships in a Space Odyessy 2010.

Beat me to the punch...... I bet it's actually a pretty good idea! LOL. Just watch out for sharp objects on the walls.

Ummmm, I hadn' t thought of that take.... Interesting.

Won't be long before we see some type of porno movie out (or close to it) with all of that.

That being said, regardless if it is good to do or not, it's gonna get done-Deal with it.

We are human-over everything else.
