Here's one of those topics most people are keen to know about regarding space: sex in space. Can it happen? Is it safe? What would happen? Basically, Tyson explains that you need straps. Because you know..zero gravity.

Lots of leather belts:

“You need things like straps. There are probably some people who are fully equipped for this anyway? But I’m just saying, you begin to see the manifestations of Newton’s law of motion. You’re floating in space and then you move towards someone and they just sort of bounce off. The movement is sort of preserved. There’s no friction, so there you go.”



“So if you want to sort of get together and stay together, you need something to like keep you together during all the normal body movements that would characterize having sex in space. So yeah, just bring a lot of leather belts. Keep things strapped down and you’ll be just fine.”
