Are they Sending babies to Space?
Hello,
I'm interested in finding out about the age limitations for Astronauts. A friend recently informed me that he had heard that NASA was interested in sending infants into space for some type of research. I am totally against sending babies into space. I don't think that they have the necessary training and math skills to survive. I thought my friend was just pulling my leg about this. Please let me know that NASA is not planning on using baby astronauts because I am against that. Thanks, TP |

I imagine, should we ever want to reproduce off Earth, someone will do it, but at the moment, young animals flown on missions would give people all the information they would require, I think. Whether the ethics of flying animals needs discussion is something else altogether. I guess that an ethics debate would precede any attempt to form a sustainable community of humans off Earth. In other words, if we reproduce, are we infringing the rights of an unborn child by exposing it to the risks, as yet unknown, of being conceived, and born in an alien environment. But then, do we consider this on Earth when unwanted pregnancies occur and run to term either? Not a debate for here, I fancy.

I love that plot description.Sylvia Saint as an astronaut? Actually I think if any porn star is astronaut-qualified, it's Asia Carrera. Supposedly she's pretty smart. Surely there must be better pun-titles for space porn than the "Uranus trilogy". |

Interesting question... They've sent married astronauts up. What if they brought their kid along? Infants can't be totally safe anywhere, really... But if you rigged up a mini-space suit and made sure that the kid was attached to the parent at critical times (like how you can double up while skydiving, or when parents carry kids on their chests, etc.)... Hm. Probably pointless to think about. It's 4 AM and I need to get to bed. |

In news:Maxpower typed: Babies would not even survive the trip into space. If babies can die by sleeping on their face how can a baby tolerate liftoff? Given that babies have been known to survive falls of several stories unhurt belies your statement. The shuttle only takes a maximum of 3g's on launch. Falling at one G is different than being launched at 3Gs. You also should take into account the terminal velocity of a baby when falling. Terminal velocity does not exist inside a shuttle cabin. As for falling you are correct babies are resiliant. Bones are still mostly cartilage the layer of fat and the light weight contibute to the survival of a fall. I hate to see a baby during shuttle launch though. Baby Survives 80 foot drop. ("crashing through several tree branches before landing on the ground") http://www.casperstartribune.net/art...da2c989114.txt Newborn baby survives fall down 30ft snake infested well http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_650000.html Toddler survives fall from second floor http://www.canada.com/vancouver/news...0-7752A1DC213D ------------------------------------------- FrontierCD - NASA Image Compilations To see current auctions on ebay http://tinyurl.com/g8pi ------------------------------------------- |
