NASA doesn't explicitly ban sex in space, but its astronaut code of conduct calls for 'relationships of trust' and 'professional standards' to be maintained at all times.

Dr Shawna Pandya suggested trying 'dolphin-style' to overcome the challenges of low gravity.

Other experts in the field have proposed Velcro suits to keep couples from drifting apart or even a specially designed suit that fits two people.

Astronauts who spend six months in space are exposed to roughly the same amount of radiation as 1,000 chest X-rays.

A recent study conducted on the ISS found that mice embryos developed for four days showed no signs of damage.

But an earlier study published in 2020 conversely found that mouse embryos developed in space 'contain severe DNA damage'.
