    I think the next theme week should go to our home grown final frontier: The Ocean!


    Deep sea ocean tech, submarines, deep sea mining, crazy ships....there is so much to explore!!

    @komododave: Is there a young Jane Fonda-ish Barbarella for the ocean? I like the ocean idea, and would prefer to have an eye-candy-ish mascot similar to what we've had for space week.

    For the record, the ocean is a topic we plan to cover this way. Not sure when yet, but yep, on the list.

    It was a brilliant week of articles guys, and it concluded nicely with Diaz' "Why We Need To Reach The Stars" article. Kudos.

    I keep having to log back in every minute or two to comment. It's just started recently, and it might just be Safari 4 beta. I'll check my settings to make sure they're all kosher but I might just have to deal with it.

    I don't know about the best position for space sex, but the best location is where the spinning ring of a space station mates with its stationary hub.

    In reply to Sex In Space: When's Someone Gonna Get Freaky in Zero G?
    I ashamed that it would be assumed a man would brag about it-maybe for self-focused people whose egos come before all else. But if I cared for someone enough to engage in intimacy with them, I would never brag about it to someone else. It is a private matter and the feelings of the other person would be highest priority to me.


    I just have to speak up for men who have sensitivity and care about others. Perhaps we are rare, but I feel ashamed to be associated with the mentality expressed in this article, which generalizes all men to be like this.

    If true, astronauts are much nerdier than I thought. (And, outside of Lisa Marie Nowak, more faithful.) Bet the Russians beg to differ, tho...

    Sex is too limited by the apparent effects of gravity. Think of all the ridiculous positions you could do without such constraints!


    Nay, I challenge you, think of what you couldn't.

    @Heliophage:

    i would actually like to see one of those tv shows about sex positions, tips and tricks in space. i wonder what crazy stuff they would come up to.


    i would like to see someone try something with spinning

    @RonTom:


    "Orbital Reentry"


    The male uses their body as an anchor for their partner, who latches on with her legs around the male's waist. The male then moves their partner, using his body as an axis to rotate around and his hands to continually reenter his partner as she drifts away from rotation.


    It's a little more complicated than "The Black Hole" and "The Big Bang", but less so than "Cosmic Periapsis".

    Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't there a husband and wife who went up on a shuttle mission sometime around the early 90's? We also had Ms. Nowack and her cross country trek while wearing Still-britches to meet up w/her fellow Astronaut.


    That being said, I do have one question all of the pictures I have seen this week made pop into my head.


    How do the Astronauts keep their whites so white?
