Sex in Space: bizarre reactions
The Space Review ^ | 10/30/06 | Laura S. Woodmansee

Apparently, some people just don’t understand that the book is intended to spark the public’s interest in space exploration, settlement, and tourism. To illustrate my case, here are some examples.

Thank you, Miss Xena, and thanks to djf. I don't remember having seen adorable Susie since that green girl episode originally broadcast.

Well there was an early SF story about the discovery of a new race, the Splend, with at least 7 different genders, at least five of whom must be present to complete the mating process.





Scientists summarized that Splend is a many lovered thing.

Astronaut Kevin Bacon: Now the important thing when you're penetrating the lunar module...is your attitude and your relative speed. Now let's say this is me here in the command module, and this is you.

Space Groupie: All right. Uh-huh.

Astronaut Kevin Bacon: In the LEM. This thing sticks out here in front, that's called the probe.

Space Groupie: Is that true?

Astronaut Kevin Bacon: Absolutely. A-A-And, Tracey, I'll tell ya, when you feel that thing slide in, everything's clickin', it's like no other feeling in the world.
