I mean, there's a guy and a girl in the ISS, have they done it before anyone else?

Dear Sir:
While a question like this is of ultimate interest to the young and uninitiated, I must warn you that sedual encounters in outer space are frought with difficulties and problems that are almost insurmountable.
Foremost among the issues one must contend with are the appliances each astronaut is equipped with to travel in space. While these devices make elimination less of a chore than it might be, they also would seriously impede any attempts at conjugation of the species as it were. Pl;astic tubes and velcro fasteners just do not elevate the testosterone levels in males, or warm the hearts of female receivers.
In addition, almost all astronauts are equipped with a series of monitoring probes which send medical data back to the launch site 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. There is not much opportunity to slip in a little bit of sedual activity without it becoming readily apparent to everyone in the Control Center at Houston.
Now, to be specific for those down to earth folks out there.
Conjugation of the species requires some serious physical activity. In space, any exertion at all is met with a rapid movement away from the source of the exertion. So, to put it bluntly, cogitation is next to impossible. I am sure that you have seen astronauts flying all over the cabins of space ships and so forth. Right? Well, then you know that the partners of any kind of cogitation activity might as well be in separate rooms. They will never be able to get together and accomplish the deed due to reverse thrust, and particle acceleration. When you consider all the removals that must take place prior to the blessed moment, and the exasperation of chasing the desired target all over creation, most astronauts will inform you that it is well nigh impossible to cogitate in space. All advise me that it is far simpler to conduct a one on one fantasy within the confines of the mind.
However, I was pleased to be able to answer your question
with dignity and clarity.

A new book written by a French astronomer alleges NASA studied the feasibility of 10 sex positions in space during a space shuttle mission in 1996, though this claim has been discredited, and has been vigorously denied by NASA. (Six of the positions required the aid of an elastic belt to hold the partners together, the author writes in the book, The Last Mission.)
The Russian Space Agency, on the other hand, is the world leader in studying the effects of crew isolation; their astronauts hold world records for time in space and their scientists have been studying the effects of group isolation on the ground for decades. Their Mir space station has held mixed gender crews. Still, while the Russians have studied the impact of weightlessness on animals in space, including the animals' sex drives, romance and sex for procreation hasn't figured prominently in their work.
The only space agency that seems to be paying any attention to sexual issues in space is the European Space Agency, which published a study in 1998 that showed spaceflight causes a reduction in testosterone levels in male astronauts.

This is the best questio I have ever read on Yahoo Answers. That would be awesome to know how sexual response in outer space works. Rock on!

I believe there's an official "don't ask, don't tell" policy on this.
It would probably also be a violation of the Privacy Act to release anything about this.
Perhaps it's like the first Star Trek movie, and they've got a celibacy policy?
Either way, it's a rather personal question, don't you think?

I don't believe intercourse has ever been documented in space. According to a show I was watching on History, or Discovery there was a married couple to have gone to space on the same mission. It is possible that they did what married people and fornicators do.

If they did, they wouldn't tell anyone. Right?

If they got the chance and they didn't they would be nuts.
