Has any of the US / NASA astronauts joined the 17,000 mile high club yet???

NASA has consistently denied that any of its astronauts have had sex in space.  Rumors continue to circulate about a NASA report that documents their experiments into the practice but the alleged document has been circulating the Internet in various forms since the late 80s and always refers to a different mission number as being the one that is occurred on with one mission that the alleged male-female encounter being an all male crew.\n\nAnother rumor involves mission STS-47 when Mark C. Lee and Nancy Jan Davis, a married couple, were on the same mission.  NASA also denies that they engaged in sex while in space.

They have actually landed on the moon. Discovery Channel proved it, and the cost for shooting this all in studio was very high as compared to actually going on the moon. !!!!

LOL, so I was answering space questions before and I thought you were crazy for a second...\n\nOut of 11million (perhaps more) I would guesstimate 7-8 are employed for at least 30 hpw BUT most work more than one job to get there.

We are able to today.  Potential cost has been estimated at less than $30 billion...\n\nHey, I have an idea!  Bill Gates can pay for the mission, and then claim Mars all for himself, kinda like the European monarchs did with the Americas!

That's the MERCURY 7 Astronauts. They are (in order of their flights:\n\nAlan B. Shepard, Jr. \nVirgil I. "Gus" Grissom \nJohn H. Glenn. Jr. \nM. Scott Carpenter \nWalter M. Schirra, Jr. \nL. Gordon Cooper, Jr.\nDonald K. "Deke" Slayton  (Was grounded in 1962 due to irregular heartbeat and never flew as part of the Mercury program, reinstated in 1972 and later flew on Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975.)\n\nToday, only Glenn, Schirra & Carpenter are still alive

Right now NASA is looking for the Unknown. \n\nI mean Come on!  \nIf we told you more it wouldn't be Top Secret.

It is Neil Armstrong, not Lance!  \n\nNote that NASA has many outreach research programs, including research opportunities in  for undergraduate students and probably some HS student programs as well, though these latter seem to be run by specific NASA centers. \n\nThere was an agency wide SHARP program that appears to have been eliminated, though various centers seem to have found money to fund them locally (see the second source link for an example of this at NASA Ames here in Mountain View).\n\nStill existing is the STEP program. (third source link.)  This is probably your best bet if there is not a center near you.

I'm going to try and watch it from my balcony. I live in south florida and I've been told you can see the shuttle taking off and landing even from down here. Apparently its like fireworks, and cine I moved from Canada last year and don't get to celebrate Canada Day, this will be my fireworks! Rock on NASA!!

Dr. Jack Schm itt and Eugene Cernan left the moon at 21:33 UTC on December 17, 1972. They were the last two astronauts to visit the lunar surface. Dr. Schm itt was the first scientist-astronaut to land on the Moon, and is a geologist.\n \n\nCernan was actually the last man to step off of the Moon. From the NASA journal:\n"Cernan: Bob, this is Gene, and I'm on the surface; and, as I take man's last step from the surface, back home for some time to come - but we believe not too long into the future - I'd like to just (say) what I believe history will record. That America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus- Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. "Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.""\n\nHere is the NASA lunar surface journal for the Apollo 17 mission:\nhttp://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a17/a17.html\n\nGene Cernan wrote a book about the experience titled "The Last Man on the Moon":\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312199066/qid=1127812744/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-3854888-7269644?n=507846%7CThe&s=books&v=glance

I heard on a radio show (Coast-to-Coast AM) an amazing and incredible replay of a man in 1970's Los Angeles (via CB radio) who actually became airborne in a chaise lounge with 100 large helium-filled balloons.  It is simply riveting to listen to the recorded account in which his voyage was suddenly jump-started due to the unexpected power of lift from the balloons in which his chaise lounge (anchored to a jeep) was torn away.  He soared to 24,000 feet!  A pilot of a major airline passing by was in shock and had to report to the tower the flying chaise lounge!  It was hysterical!  The man was an engineer, I believe at one of the local aerospace companies.  He maintained CB radio contact with his girlfriend on the ground, who was totally frantic and freaked out.  He took with him a be-be-gun to shoot each balloon gradually to lower his altitude.  Eventually, he brought the chaise lounge back down to the area of Glendale, and he crash landed in a residential backyard right next to another man--- laying on his chaise lounge.  It was unbelievable, and a riot!

Next one is in August 2017. Only in a narrow tens of miles band. I don't know when the last one was. Check Fred Espenak at NASA on the internet. They should have everything.
