Nasa has a strict code of conduct on sexual relations, stating that "relationships of trust" among astronauts are to be maintained at all times.

I'm certain that NASA's "strict code" must go into greater detail than this. As reported, it sounds less like a stern "no nookie" policy and more like: "What happens in orbit, stays in orbit."

I would imagine it’s going to get even tougher now that Obama’s called for a Muslim outreach through NASA. Chimps in space were one thing but camels and goats....that’s going to be tough.

Polyethylene (plastic) blocks cosmic rays rather well.

It’s a weight issue, but not much of one.

I’m confused by the following, can’t we shield a spaceship from cosmic rays?

Sure. It's just that we don't have large enough rockets to get that kind of weight off the ground.

Seems in space, pregnancy is not a problem. It's the birth that is a little rough.

Somebody’s confusing “sex” with “reproduction”.
