Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
It's time NASA started to think about the parts of their astronauts below the waist, so to speak. A voyage to Mars would be at _least_ three years (for a quick flags-and-footprints stop) or four and a half years for an extended stay. Asking people to stay celibate that long is a bit much, and you certainly don't want hammer-waving jealous lovers on a spacecraft. I think the most logical solution would be to recruit and assign married couples as couples. (And for a bonus, the ideal mission would be one het and one hom couple to minimize infidelity issues.)
