Infertility Could Impede Human Space Colonization
intellitech writes "The prospect of long-term space travel has led scientists to consider, increasingly seriously, the following conundrum: if travelling to a new home might take thousands of years, would humans be able to successfully procreate along the way? The early indications from NASA are not encouraging. Space, it seems, is simply not a good place to have sex."
...I'm going to be the first one here to volunteer for a job at Nasa to test that theory about sex in space. With lots of trials if necessary.

Women would be unable to become pregnant? On the contrary, it sounds like space is a GREAT place to have sex.
Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power.
Damn creationists...
I beat my son for suggesting that after NASA winds down the shuttle we won't go back into space. Next time he crosses me it better be from orbit.
Divide a cake by zero. Is it still a cake?

Amen to that. A nerdy kid tried to convince me the Moon landings were faked. After patiently listening to about 3 seconds of his not-knowledge of physics I grabbed him by his scrawny neck and bashed his head against a locker door. Immediately I hit him in the solar plexus with my knee then punched his glasses into his eyes with a swinging punch. Then I threw him heads down into an unflushed toilet and kept him under until he passed out. I considered pissing on him, but it would have been a waste of urine.
Geeks are so full of shit that "beating the crap out of them" takes a whole new meaning.
