A team of Chinese scientists used two of China’s Tianzhou cargo spacecraft missions to culture and study the differentiation of human reproductive cells in space.

for those who don’t want to click,the studys takeaway is basically current evidence suggests having babies in space isnt feasible yet
microgravity disrupts sperm, eggs and early embryo development while cosmic radiation can damage DNA. the “silver lining” is that researchers identified biological pathways that might eventually be targeted to reduce these effects. so its not humans can never reproduce in space just that we have some major hurdles to solve first
This is right out of sci‑fi dream of humans building families among the stars.
Yea like I can ever get laid in space. I can’t even get laid on earth.
Because they definitely 100% conducted a study in space.
The elephant in the room is that women are born with all their eggs. So from day dot, they are irradiating their eggs in space. Space craft need an extraordinary higher level of shielding to stop that.
For men, they just wait a week once back on earth and they have a fresh batch of sperm.
You just know some dude will use the line “baby we don’t need a condom, everyone knows you can’t get pregnant in space…”
Oh no!
Like having babies isn’t hard enough, and some one would want to make it even harder having them in space.
Humans are not a space species. It will take A LOT to become one.
Easier to colonize Mars than living in space, literally .
I wonder about getting a registrar, what would the nationalit be, and what would be written as „place of birth“
I think we need to make sure people can afford to have babies on Earth first.
