Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the key to sex in space: ‘Bring a lot of leather belts’

StarTalk host Neil deGrasse Tyson explained how sex in space can illustrate Newtonian laws of motion in a short video posted by National Geographic.

No astronauts were harmed in the making of this video.

I had a go at writing space sex in my story Mouse's Maiden Voyage. It's set in the microgravity of the International Space Station, and I tried to make it as non-sci-fi as possible. The solution the astronauts come to is that one holds and tethers the woman.

I think bungy cords might prove better than leather belts, maybe?

One gentle push and ride in on the bounces, maybe?

I did some research on this a while back. Apparently it's not the bouncing around, but the fact that zero gravity has an effect on low blood pressure. No/low blood pressure = you gotta stuff it in, instead of slide it in.

This would also apply to vampires; as they are immortal/undead, they can't get an erection. You need a heart beating for blood pressure.

But hey, all's fair in fiction and fantasy!

Neil deGrasse Tyson can kiss my fat pimply ass. Pluto is a planet and always will be. Fuck you, NdGT!!!!!!

Aye: It's a planet.

Aye: It's a planet.

So is Ceres. We need more goddess planets.

That gave me a bunny!

Third person narrates a story of attraction, devastating attraction of two volatile individuals, the search for each other and BAM, bang, POW their coming together moves the earth!

Cut to JPL and describe the minor planets, (God and Goddess named) colliding as having upset the obit of the earth and in five years we will fall into the SUN!
or some such?

OK, I'll bite: why does this bug people so much? It's not like Pluto became one iota less interesting when it got reclassified to "dwarf planet". Is it just that people are so attached to a "fact" they learned in school and don't want to unlearn, or is there something else here?

PLOT BUNNY: two astronomers get into a heated argument about whether Pluto should be a planet. After ten minutes of in-your-face yelling at one another, they realise the anger has transmuted into lust.

Exactly. It's not like Pluto became one iota less massive or dimensional or planet-like by being reclassified. Why do people feel the need to redefine things? They are trying to "change" things, but without really changing anything! It's like they want to exaggerate their own sense of self-worth by putting their own personal imprimatur on the state of the universe, and put themselves forward as "smarter" than their predecessors. When they aren't making one damn bit of difference to the real world. Fuckers!

Exactly. It's not like Pluto became one iota less massive or dimensional or planet-like by being reclassified.

Other way around: we learned that Pluto was less massive than previously thought, and reclassified accordingly. Classification is meant to describe things, and if the description isn't accurate then it ought to change - otherwise the classification becomes meaningless.

Cute idea but it doesn't quite fit with orbital dynamics. The falling-into-the-sun bit, I mean. If a couple of planetoids whack, they can shed debris that could wipe Earth's biosphere; one way for Earth to get fucked.

The secret to sex in zero-G: velcro.

Wasn't Pluto named after the Popeye character? (Jeep was another Popeye player.) I know the Disney character came later. It's not a planet; it's a cartoon.

"Bring a lot of leather belts..."

I thought that was the "key to sex" anywhere!!!

That was Bluto in Popeye.
