Happy Valentine's Day!
I think NASA is so reticent about zero-g sex because they know that it'll ruin everything if people find out how fun it is.
There are no officially acknowledged space fucks yet, AFAIK.
Some astronauts are suspected to have screwed around on the DL, but saying so publicly would kind of be career suicide.

Maybe Virgin would be game for a sociological experiment or two. :fap:
Agreed. I get the feeling that a Govt. astronaut would never do it for fear of going down in history as one of the first official space boinkers. Would kind of eclipse any other career achievements.
(At least until the truth about Sally "Starfucker" Ride gets out... :fap:)
I'd do it. Hell, I'd pay to do it.
ETA: Mainly to be in Guinness.

"Ruin everything" = "increase public interest and private investment"

"Ruin everything" meaning turn the whole space travel industry into a mockery. You may think sex in space makes NASA more worthwhile, but the people who pay them wouldn't.
Politicians pay them. You know, FYI.
I have a hard time thinking of a more noble cause than sex in space.

Similar to pornography driving the development of personal media viewing and information distribution.

Not similar, because pornography is a business and NASA is a gov't funded program that needs to keep up appearances to it's benefactors.
Right. I forgot. Space is still a Federally-owned and -maintained concept that must represent the highest ideals of our nation.
NASA itself couldn't possibly benefit from sex-in-space with anything like a presidential administration or a Congress in place
I'm not saying it wouldn't work, I'm saying congress would never pay for it. You forget that America is the land of irrational hang-ups.

How about if they send bankers into space, then?
According to this highest ideals hypothesis, they'd fuck everybody over.
I've often dreamed of filming a porno in space. Think about it, the money shot would just hang there it mid-air.
It's PURE GOLD, I tell ya!!!
if the money shot is golden, it's a different kind of porn.
Well, there's one thing to do. Actually try to set up a self-sustaining colony. Maybe this should be a diplomatic cross-national project? Have couples from the space programs of various nations go up and add onto a big spinny-type space station, and tell them not to come down until they have managed to raise a few kids.
According to Ye Olde Wikie the annual amount of money spent on porn (in the US) is $4.3 Billion, NASAs yearly budget is $17.something Billion.
Even if NASA got 100% of the porn audience it doesn't cover their government funding, unfortunately.

In the broader sense of interest in sex serving as a driving force for technology. It's not the ONLY driving force, as evidenced by CNN and the internet not being ONLY composed of porn.
Related, there has been a good degree of speculation in Sci - Fi about zero - gee screwing.
I recall Aurthur C. Clark writing in "Rendevous with Rama", that career cosmonauts found sex down in full Earth gravity as too cumbersome to be really enjoyable.
