Many behavioral scientists think that interpersonal relationships amongst astronauts will be a problematic situation and could relaly well effect the over all mission and even endanger the crew. In fact many Sci Fi authors have written such animosities of interpersonal seuxal relationships into their novels including Issac Asimoc, Arthur C. Clarke, Ben Bova and Tess Garitsen in her book “Gravity.” Indeed from what we know aobut humans and sex and tight confined areas is that it does cause behavior issues. Some of which can be explosive, vindictive and hostile, which in a Space Exploration Colony makes it raelly dangerous to all.Some say this can be solved by an all female crew or an all male crew, but if these human being are locked up together their maybe same-sex relationships and it is well-known that such cat fights amongst gale males can be a enormous issue.
Changing partners, jealousy and animosity amongst same sex or heterosexual relationships is a issue that NASA will have to work out prior to putting a crew into a capsule sending them for 10-months flight and then into a Mars Colony for five or six years.NASA is worried about romantic entanglements, love triangles and sexual out of control urges laeding to problems.
In fact the US National Academy of Sciences has warned of thsee problems. Then there is issues with infidelity of our astronauts, especially considering many are married with children and they will become role models to millions of Americans almsot instantly. Even a 30 month mission would mean that there would be unlimited possibility for problems, but if the mission is long, even a bigger issue.This could jeopardize spcae missions, colonies or long-term space exploration flights through or even beyond the solar system.
Additionally although no one has been discussing it, the secreitons and fluids exchanged contain valuable substances, which will need to be recycled. In fact everything will need to be recycled to save weight; that means urine maybe used for battery power and/or filtered for taking water and fecal matter maybe used to fertilize plants like fruit trees. Nothing can be wasted.There have been practice missions here on Erath where there have already been problems with sexual harassment, crews refusing to work and intense arguments, even borderline sabotage. No one denies that sex will need to be part of the mission and allowed otherwise the sexual anxiety and build up will cause other issues, such as violence amongst the males. Many astronauts are also athletes and produce more than avreage testosterone, often this is true to of the female astronauts as well.Sex robots may need to be implemented into the mission, perhaps for the married men, in the shape and dimensions of their wife and for single male crew members perhaps of a former girlfriend of non-descript female since the guys may need sex more than the women may wish to. No matter what sexual bonding could also enhance the team and provide a really favorable scoial setting to get even more work done and create a super charged team effort. But NASA has to play it safe and make sure team members are compatible and prehaps even desirable of each other.
This will prevent problems while stuck in a small space with many human being of high energy, sexual desire and a must do mission, after all the we taxpayers are paiyng for this mission and we do not need to be paying for space orgies up there.
