Still, this falls into the category of if it can be done, it will be done,
sooner or later.

Do Astronauts Have Sex?

In space, no one can hear you moan.
BY CHRISTOPHER BEAM

Astronaut Lisa Nowak is facing attempted murder charges after
she drove nearly 1,000 miles to confront a rival for the
affections of another astronaut, Bill Oefelein. Nowak said
that she and Oefelein had “more than a working relationship,
but less than a romantic relationship.” Wait, did they ever
get it on in space?

No. Nowak and Oefelein were never on the same mission, so
they couldn’t possibly have joined the 62-mile-high club.
But some of their colleagues may well have engaged in
some extraterrestrial hanky-panky. Former and current
astronauts don’t like to talk about space-shuttle sex,
and NASA says that if it’s ever happened, the agency
doesn’t know anything about it. (NASA has never conducted
official experiments on animal reproduction in space,
says a spokesman.)

Of course, speculation has been rampant. The first mission
that included both men and women launched in 1982. But on
that flight, cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya’s reputation
for toughness, not to mention her married status, stamped out
rumors. The first married couple went to space in 1991, when
training-camp sweethearts Jan Davis and Mark Lee served
together on a mission. NASA normally has a policy against
letting married couples fly together, not because they’re
afraid they’ll have sex, but because it might hurt the team
dynamic. However, they made an exception for Davis and Lee
since the couple got married so close to launch time.
(In this photo, taken during the mission, Lee has his arm
around Davis.) Both have refused to answer questions about
the nature of their relationship during the mission.

In the 1990s, rumors circulated about unorthodox coziness
between Elena Kondakova and Valery Polyakov on a mission
to the space station Mir, especially after a video got out
showing Valery playfully splashing water on Elena during the flight.

'Married so close to launch time', sounds like a honeymoon
opportunity to me~

BIG LIE From Wiki - "The German expression was coined by Adolf Hitler
when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie
so *colossal* that no one would believe that someone "could have the
impudence to distort the truth so infamously."
