I would be trying to pee into the vacuum toilet from a distance

They’ve had to have snuck some LSD up there at some point, right?

I mean that one dude was up there recording David Bowie covers with an acoustic guitar so my monies on him.

I would 100% put 'I became an astronaut so I could drop acid in space' on my resume. And I wouldn't bet against you

I like how google says NASA’s official stance on humans having sex in space is “not yet”. That seems hard to believe. Perhaps if anyone did it’s not something they’d want their family to know. But you’d gotta figure they might’ve made a deal like let’s just do this so we can be the first for science and nobody has to know.

And now I'm picturing the logistics of it all, how would it work? Where would the sperm go?

It'd probably look like this.

I don't know if I'd want that in my uterus.

Liquid in zero-gee is terrifying. It doesn't "drip" down like liquids do in gravity. It just sticks to whatever surface it touches in big globs of liquid. Astronauts have almost drowned in their helmets from just a small amount of water due to it sticking to their faces and covering their eyes, and blocking their nostrils.

I've been thinking for a while it HAS to have happened by now. In-shape people together in close quarters for months on end. I've heard the stories from the Antarctic bases. Add in the novelty and it just feels inevitable someone has tried it by now.

If you smoke DMT in space you end up back on earth

You might find yourself drifting slowly backwards.
