And to prevent it, they are trying to develop a drug that will temporarily reduce sex drive but not leave the crew permanently impotent.

No drugs necessary. Just instruct the female crew members to nag a lot.

Sex expert Peter Bond suggested staffing the craft with nerds to solve the problem.

He must not be much of an expert on Nerds. Nerds have sex (a lot) I speak from experience.

Marry them. I hear there's no bigger killer of the sex drive than a diamond ring.

This wouldn't have been a problem thirty years ago. The entire crew would have been made up of red-blooded American men.

"Nasa is talking about the chemical sterilisation of astronauts on longer journeys."

Remind me never to go on a mission to Mars.

well, I suggest the ladies all keep nagging the guys to "talk about their feelings" and make comments like "you don't pay attention to me anymore" and "can't you put yourself in my shoes"

There is a food that will make a woman stop having sex.

Wedding cake.

NASA idiots. Do they really think they can stop mixed sex crews from seeking each other out and forming relationships? You can make sure the women don't get pregnant, but its unlikely bureaucrats can prevent smooching in the middle of the voyage.

The most rediculous story I have read. Adults should be treated like Adults. Mother hen and big government be damned, no temporary castration necessary or allowed!

Seriously, couldn't they just staff it with married couples?

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact it's cold as hell.

Just send x42 and his wife. They won't have sex, plus if the mission fails to return them safely it's no big loss. :)

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

Yeah, this is the kind of thing I'd let 'em test out on me.
