Sex between space tourists is inevitable — are we ready for the 1st babies conceived off-planet?

There is a significant chance that the launch of the space tourism sector may be swiftly followed by the first sex in space, and we haven't fully considered the consequences.

Humans have a knack for sharing intimate moments in unlikely places, as membership of the mile-high club demonstrates. So there is a significant chance that the launch of the space tourism sector may be swiftly followed by the first sex in space.

Much longer flights are just around the corner. Companies such as Elon Musk's SpaceX have well-established track records of developing spacecraft faster than the public sector. SpaceX's larger and more capable Starship spacecraft will likely operate routinely in the next few years. The real concern is not the sexual interactions themselves, but rather if they lead to human conception in space. Early orbital space tourism flights are expected to last for days to weeks, so only the early stages of human reproduction could happen in space.

Astronauts routinely suffer muscle and bone wastage as their bodies no longer have to resist the forces of gravity. On Earth, gravity influences the distribution of body fluids, such as blood. A lack of gravity can result in increased pressure inside the skull which can make people's vision blurry and even change the brain's structure.

Even if space tourists use contraception, we can’t be sure it will be as effective outside planet Earth. There have been no studies on how contraceptives will be affected by space environments.
