NASA Sex Tape

Wow some things never change huh,looks like a substatial penalty for early withdrawal

What an opportunity for Paris Hilton. Titled "Sluts in Spacesuits"

I read something new everyday!

Shouldnt there be some peer reviewed evidence for this to even be considered not a hoax?

I was under the impression that anything in the science forums was based on science and factual evidence.

No sex tape means it could all just be made up by bloggers.

Is this science fiction or science fact?

DENY IGNORANCE

Shannon Lucid. Spent 179 days aboard Mir aged 53. Arrived STS-76.

Specializes in Biochemistry.

During the mission she performed numerous life science and physical science experiments.

During the Shuttle-Mir missions:

Between March 1995 and May 1998, NASA and Russian scientists conducted experiments designed to answer vital questions about how humans, animals and plants function in space, how our solar system originated and developed, how we can build better technology in space and how we can build future space stations.

During STS-76 stay at Mir certain experiments were conducted:

In Biorack, 11 separate scientific investigations were conducted. Study topics included effect of microgravity and cosmic radiation on plants, tissues, cells, bacteria and insects and effects of microgravity on bone loss.

Lucid departed Mir on STS-79, September 1996.

Lucid conducted many experiments:

During her approximately six-month stay on Mir, Lucid conducted research in following fields: advanced technology, Earth sciences, fundamental biology, human life sciences, microgravity research and space sciences. Specific experiments included: Environmental Radiation Measurements to ascertain ionizing radiation levels aboard Mir; Greenhouse-Integrated Plant Experiments, to study effect of microgravity on plants, specifically dwarf wheat; and Assessment of Humoral Immune Function During Long-Duration Space Flight, to gather data on effect of long-term spaceflight on the human immune system and involving collection of blood serum and saliva samples. Some research conducted in newest and final Mir module, Priroda, which arrived at station during Lucid's stay.

Whilst I will not suggest Lucid was a participant in the some sort of sex in space/sex video, there are some interesting facts. For example, Lucid freely admits that video was used, and basic human biology research undertaken.

However, it must be strenuously noted that NASA performs biological tests related to human biology and biological processes almost continuously. Likewise, video recording of crew and experiments is common place too.

So I would hesitate to say Lucid is the subject of any sex experiment.
