“…Это весьма деликатная тема, и ее можно назвать камнем преткновения для многих налогоплательщиков. Расходование средств на долгосрочные цели с учетом меняющихся политических приоритетов вызывает сомнения граждан, и возможность получения необходимой поддержки оказывается под угрозой [1]. Приоритетность для правительственных организаций инженерно-проектных работ, в свою очередь, снижает вероятность финансирования [2].…”

“…Чтобы стать межпланетным биологическим видом, людям просто необходимо научиться размножаться в космосе. Поэтому космические агентства признают необходимость проведения соответствующих исследований и прямо призывают независимые компании, специализирующиеся на этой проблеме, заняться ее решением [1,3]. SpaceBorn United приняла этот вызов.…”

“…Здесь сразу возникает вопрос о медицинских рисках, которым подвергся бы эмбрион, поэтому неконтролируемого зачатия в космосе следует избегать. Однако это может стать интересной задачей [1]. Самый простой способ решить ее -обеспечить безопасность зачатия и рождения в космосе еще до открытия первых космических отелей -тщательно контролируемым образом, на основе точных исследований, адекватного отбора и профессионального руководства.…”

I Most large space agencies and companies are preparing missions for human settlements on the Moon and Mars. Such an essential, but controversial life science challenge as reproduction in space is difficult to address for these organisations. However, scientific community is convinced that it's necessary to respond to this challenge, otherwise real space expansion is impossible. SpaceBorn United company is engaged in researches in this field and is working at the creation of a scientific-technical base to provide for human reproduction in space. Dr. Egbert K.A. Edelbroek , the company's CEO, tells what technologies the company is planning to use and how childbirth in space is possible.

Purpose of Review The combined efforts of national and private space organizations are progressively allowing more people to live and work in space. But to perform long-term spaceflights and become a multiplanetary species, we must address the intimate and sexual needs of humans. Yet, research on space sexology remains limited and fragmented. To move forward, this 5-year scoping review consolidates the current research on sexual health in space. Recent Findings Fifty publications were identified, including empirical, theoretical, and review articles, and other scholarly work, such as book chapters and a commentary. Most of the research comes from biology, with contributions from philosophy, ethics, and law, gynecology/obstetrics, aerospace medicine, gender studies, and sexology. Recent findings suggest that radiation exposure, gravitational changes, and hypomagnetic fields may detrimentally impact our reproductive health. In addition, findings suggest that several gynecological risks related to spaceflights must be addressed (e.g., cancer, pregnancy, and contraception), along with many issues related to child-rearing, population diversity, reproductive and sexual rights, and intersectionality and social justice. More research is also needed on sexual responses and behaviors and the technologies that may facilitate safe sex, intimacy, and reproduction beyond Earth. Summary Space poses significant risks to our sexual health. However, despite our space missions and objectives, this topic remains relatively understudied. There is an urgent need for a comprehensive scientific program on space sexology, one that holistically addresses the biopsychosocial realities of human eroticism. This is crucial for the well-being of our spacefaring civilization.
