But do they understand the gravity of that discovery?

[–] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only a little, it is microgravity after all.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Um acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wrong. The earth orbits the space station. Ignore the epicyclic motion of other nearby bodies.

[–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, good old relativity. Btw where did you learn about epicycles?

Hypothesis, theory, or experiment?

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 62 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes, and in that exact order.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Wouldn't the hypothesis be first, then tested via experiment, then after a significant amount of peer review finally confirmed as a theory?

To quote one line from Netflix's Inside Job.

JFK: We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because I am hard.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Did that get uncancelled by any chance?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 75 points 1 week ago (5 children)

False. Leg position is different, one allows additional bracing. NASA virgins caught red handed.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

This person fucks.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How would one allow additional bracing? You can use the same amount of bracing for both, just depends on where the bracing surfaces are. What am I missing?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In space, you are the bracing surface.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean... you'd be doing it on a ship. And there'd be stuff to hold on to.

Science has not gone far enough in this case. More research is needed.

Pull back on you nutsack and give her that emergency inch!

You had the perfect word to fit in there and instead you went with “gone”!? Come on man!

finally we are getting results.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

this is more an epiphany than a discovery... 'a sudden realization or awareness to the reality of something'

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not if they proved it with a study and collected data!

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yes, i would support this endeavor if we must be certain. for science.

so in the history of all space programs what are the odds no one has done the deed? im not sure i believe nasa when they say 'not us'.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Tbh, it might actually be no one. For one, these are some of the most professional people on the planet - wildest deviations I can think was someone smuggling a sandwich on board, and one of them bringing a gorilla costume.

Two, a lot of being an astronaut is pretty undignified when it comes to waste management, and they can't just take a shower, so I'd wager whatever sponge bath they're able to pull off likely leaves a lot to be desired. So, not really prime sexy time.

And physically, sex in zero-g seems like one of those things that sounds fun on paper, but in practice would be a lot of work to the point of not being worth the effort.

...I do wonder what zero-g would do to gestation and development, especially over the course of multiple generations. Probably the kind of thing we should start with mice though - humans take too long.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

The soviets tried letting rats breed in zero g but they didn't seem to manage to copulate. A number of smaller organisms have been able to breed in zero g and/or microgravity including c elegans, fruit flies, and cockroaches. They have shown that mouse IVF is at least theoretically possible (petri dish embryos are possible) but it doesn't seem that they've tried actual breeding since that soviet rat experiment.

Straddle vs ass presented. I don't see how no gs changes this

I am volunteering for experimentation to prove this.

If you cum in space no one can hear it

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Nobody can hear your boner in space either

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Huh. Well that explains why those are my two favorite positions

If they are this wrong you can falsify them

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

just have to adjust the angle of your dangle

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

It's actually dependent on orientation to either the plane of the solar system or, if interstellar, the galactic plane. Once we become an extra galactic species, our anatomy will be such that this entire premise makes no sense.
