Author, musician, and space enthusiast Vanna Bonta is featured in a story in Outside magazine about sex in zero gravity. Yes, it is another sex in space article, and this one is in an interesting place (an outdoor activity magazine). What has captured so much attention about this one topic that a magazine featuring Lance Armstrong wants to have it on the cover? Are we really that focussed on sex in our culture?Although there are already honeymoon plans on Virgin Galactic's suborbital flights, the 5 minutes of weightlessness may not be enough to have that kind of fun in space. Until they complete a commercial space station we need to find some other way to enjoy ourselves during those first suborbital jaunts. Other than watching the Earth or playing golf on the ISS, what else will private space enthusiasts do up in space? What activities can we create that are unique and fun in the weightless environment?

A long time ago (1997) it hit The Straight Dope, too. If you're unfamiliar, The Straight Dope is kinda like the original Myth Busters. There're several fun space ones on there if you seach in the archives.
Keep up the good work on the blog here!
Battle Room, ala Enders Game, way better then football. I wouldn't mind space sex though.
