NASA has set a 30-year timeline for when it expects to land on the surface of Mars. However, one particular issue which up till now has been a topic of taboo, is the sexual desires of its crew. One potential solution has NASA turning to the gay community.
"There is a decision that is going to have to be made about mixed-sex crews, and there is going to be a lot of debate about it", says Paul Root Wolpe, a bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania and advisor to NASA.
Enter: The modern homosexual.
Sexual urges are sexual urges and they'll need to be handled one way or another- so why not utilize a gay astronaut who, even if he or she was to fool around, ultimately would avoid a pregnancy.
"This could be a great opportunity in gaining further acceptance of the gay lifestyle on a worldwide scale", says Rick Michaels, founder of Homosexuals for Space Exploration (HSE). "Additionally, it would technically place Mars as the first gay-friendly planet."
"An intergalactic gayborhood, essentially", he added, pointing out that he and his partner have been long-time residents of Philadelphia's gayborhood.
Still dealing with the fallout from astronaut Lisa Nowak's February 2007 arrest for stalking and attempted murder, among other charges involving an astro-love triangle, NASA would need to approach the possibility of relationships among the crew.
NASA has already stated that divas and closet-dwellers will not be accepted into the program.
"All potential candidates must be 'out' and free of primadonna tendencies," says NASA rep Lenny N. Carl.
In addition to the sex issue, NASA must also figure out a way to handle the possibility of death. Previous missions could have an astronaut back on Earth within hours (courtesy of a Russian Soyuz space vehicle) since it was only a 220 mile trip back home, however a mission to Mars would take them 240,000 miles away from their favorite gravitational pull.
The mission to Mars will test the boundaries of human endurance as astronauts will be faced with extended exposure to radiation, the loss of muscle and bone, and the psychological challenges of isolation.

Asstronauts should be allowed to bring sheep into space. They'll never get a sheep pregnant. The best part is if they run low on food they can kill the sheep and eat it. They obviously couldn't kill and eat their lovers. That would be cannibalism.

That whole name calling thing is so infantile, it just goes to show who remain here on earth to harbor challenging circumstances that a "fag" may one day save your life! A-H.

The baby conceived and birthed in space would surely die. But I guess if it's for science, what's one baby? We have plenty of babies.

Deep space exploration will be the province of Gays and they will be the first earth pilgrims to the stars. Everything "reproductive" will be test-tubed.

Hi,
Instead of this horrible thought of gays on the Mars mission, why not send a honeymooning couple. They could come back to earth with a child. It would also be interesting to study the characteristics of a space born child. In this way, science could contribute something about life beyond Earth.
