That NASA has done a zero-gravity intercourse experiment.
The 50th shuttle mission had married couple and it included spacelab. A pressurized and habitable module that could be isolated from the rest of the crew. Even before launch they were asked if it would happen, and denied it, as NASA has afterwards as well.
It doesn't help that several of the listed experiments was about human health, developmental biology and included animals and eggs to study ovulation, fertilization, cell division and growth.
Now that you bring it up, of course we've studied whether babies can be made in a spaceship. It’s literally the only other option for interstellar travel besides cryogenic freezing, which is far more sci-fi than spacesex. Or spacex for short.
Any generational ship will mutiny within one generation and likely die off by the second
Interstellar travel is a pipe dream made up by people tired of saving what we already are losing
I think the only reason to even try a generational ship is if it's literally all we have.
We can't even keep the most prosperous nation on the planet from falling to fascism in 5 years how the FUCk do you think we're gonna keep an isolated crew of highly intelligent people with access to the highest tech available?
I know enough about human nature that the only way this works is if it started as a die-hard authoritarian religious movement and even then I only give it 1 out of 4 chances of making it 100 years into the mission
The breeding fetish makes so much more sense now. Barf.
