Do astronauts take porno mags into space to umm............unwind a bit, or what do they do for fun up there?

Question

Lol don't tell me they play chess up there because that is bull chess is boring, they have to do something fun.

Answer 1

The issue has been studied, although NASA hasn't published anything. Astronauts private lives are strictly "off limits." The article from space.com in the link that follows, however, addresses the issue.

The general theory is that the astronauts are "more mature" than that.

The second link is the published record of what does happen, from NASA's own website. (It doesn't specifically address the question, but it makes a good resource place for the time the question is addressed. It does have articles on sleeping in space, for instance.)

Answer 3

But the question still remains. Some of these guys are up there for a long time. So how and when do they do it? Do they need permission? Will NASA keep this a secret forever? I'm not being sarcastic. I'm going to give the question a star.
We can find out about the procedures for virtually every other human function. When, if ever, will we learn about sex in space? Masturbation? Coitus? What was learned? This is something they will have to establish procedures for if the goal is to put people in space for long periods of time. They have experimented with slinkies and jacks and paper airplanes. This would seem to be more important than those.

Answer 4

to be realistic about this. it would cost NASA a few hundred thousand dollars to pay for the extra weight of a porno-mag. but the space shuttle has communication systems which means they can probably download porn to their computers. I'd imagine that some astronauts have experimented with the process of doing that in space.
And most people don't do it because they are bored, they do it so they don't murder people in rage. Not to sound sexest or anything, but I've always thought that there should be a dedicated female having release as one of their job descriptions.

Answer 5

shamelessly copied from NASA. No mention of porno, but they do mention "computer use," and we know what THAT means...

UPDATE: I've thought about the implications of free-floating ejaculate in zero-gravity, so the likelyhood of indiscriminate ******* is pretty low.


"Astronauts must exercise because they may lose muscle and bone loss. So they must exercise daily if they are on a long mission. Exercise also helps them readjust more quickly to Earth's gravity when they return. If they are in space a long period of time their bodies adjust to the no gravity atmosphere because it doesn’t use muscles it normally does on earth. When returning to earth they are weak and it may take up to a year to get back to good physical condition. Therefore breathing excersies are a must or they couldn’t survive. The astronauts also like to play cards and things of that nature in space to help pass the time. The also like to read and write e-mails to family members and loved ones. Some listen to music and play on computers. The do stuff like they do hear on earth if you are in your house passing time except for television is limited up in actual space."

Answer 6

I agree with Mercury 2010, it's their job. Astronauts are highly intelligent, professional people with an amazing job. When they go to space it's for a reason, not to mess around. They take pride in what they do and I'm sure when they come home they have a sense of achievement.

Answer 7

Choose a whole-wheat wrap rather than two slices of wheat breads.

Answer 8

no. I think they spend most of their time being concerned about staying alive.

I'm sure zero gravity is entertaining enough on its own. only games including floating bouncing, look at me do something stupid "upside down?"

emails and phone conversations are pretty nice I bet.

but remember these people love their jobs and are VERY smart. They probably get the most enjoyment out of completing missions and goals. Thats why they qualify as astronauts

Answer 9

Ya the jack off to stupid stuff like ummm grannys gone wild since the space ship thingy is so lame and if they have sex whoevers on top will float up

Answer 10

Celebrate Meatless Mondays by making a meal starring beans (another weight-loss aid). You are going to love this sweet potato and also black bean burrito.
