NASA Puts A Stop To Space Romance
electro-donkey writes "According to a New Scientist article, romantic entanglements among astronauts could derail long-haul space trips. A top-level NASA panel has decided, though it could alleviate boredom, space sex could cause trouble too. On a mission to Mars, for example, which would take up to 30 months, sexual conflict or infidelity could lead to a 'breakdown in crew functioning'."
The one in who the sex isn't a bit "disfunctional". When the sex is concious, when it serves itself and not releasing of stress/coping with todays world (yeah, when it doesn't have neurotic background) one can be perfectly fine without it.
Trust me, NASA will find skilled enough psychologists to determine if candidates for Mars mission are up to the job in this regard.
One that hath name thou can not otter
I have an even better Idea .
Let's send 6 lesbians porn stars and a A film crew . Kills two birds with one stone , no space sex conflicts and you could fund the next Moon landing with "Star whores : A new elope "
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
No matter how weird things get, the air will clear when ground control calls to remind the crew, "if you miss the timing on this deorbit burn, you're all going to burn to death."
No Earth-based station simulation is going to completely capture the urgency of real space travel.
Then logically, either Darl or the Pope is not a person! (In this case, I highly suspect that Darl McBride is the guilty party)

Three days is more than I can usually handle without my brain going into a fit of chaos.
If you're telling the truth about this, then your brain is already in a continual fit of chaos.
