   Woman reveals her plans to have sex with Elon Musk and give birth to first 'Martian baby'
   
   dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14098425/Woman-reveals-plans-sex-Elon-Musk-birth-Martian-baby-tech-billionaire-goes-mission-colonise-Mars.html
   
   She's an OnlyFans model (porn actress) who wants to fly to Mars with Elon and have a kid. The interesting part was this, however:
   
   >But according to scientists, the difficulties of having sex on Mars make this highly improbable, if not impossible. Kelly Weinersmith, a bioscientist and author based in Charlottesville, Virginia, says people who want to populate Mars 'don't understand how reproduction works'.
   
   >Weinersmith, who authored the 2023 book 'A City on Mars' with her husband Zach, told the Times: 'These billionaires think it's an engineering problem.
   
   >'They think that if they get a rocket that's big enough, biology will take care of itself – but it won't.'
   
   >Couples could risk the health of their unborn baby by conceiving in space, whether they're on Mars or orbiting around Earth on the ISS.
   
   They don't say why, however. Now I'm curious why they think you can't get knocked up unless you're on Earth.

     @Aether@poa.st I believe it's related to how sperm cells moves, the mechanism is associated with earth's gravity, so they just kinda float around in space, plus with a different gravity, bones wouldn't need to be as strong as they are and would probably lend those people to be incapable of coming to earth, plus there's probably a similar reasoning for when the baby is growing, the gravitational forces just aren't there

     @Aviz @Aether >experiment it on the ISS, which has no gravity at all
     The ISS has plenty of gravity, it's just falling so fast it keeps missing the ground.
     
     It's called microgravity.
     
     A baby may possibly form with defects under lower than 1G gravity, but under microgravity it will just be aborted (experiments with rats, or was it insects detailed that for anything to hatch/be born required 1G gravity for at least the initial development stages).

     @Aether This stuff is always at the realm of "Nobody really knows".
     
     They experiment it on the ISS, which has no gravity at all, then assume the same result will happen in a low gravity environment.
     
     With no gravity everything about your biology breaks down, your muscles, your bones, your circulation and immunological system, even your taste buds.
     
     There's zero chance something as complex as a baby forming will go as intended.
