NASA starts space study to see if sperm can still function in weightless environments

( Natural News ) Do sperm squirm the same way in space? That’s an interesting question that’s posed by the leading scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which aims to learn exactly how sperm will function when placed out in space. To conduct this highly serious research work, NASA’s scientists have gone back to the basics of reproductive health in order to fully understand all the matters at play. More specifically, they haven’t just started studying sperm in isolation. Rather, they have looked into what would happen between a sperm and an egg if they were to unite out in space . The space agency is said to be in the middle of a comprehensive mission on the International Space Station (ISS) called Micro-11, which aims to look into how sperm gets affected by weightlessness in space. In charge of this investigation is NASA’s Ames Research Center, which is located in California’s Silicon Valley. It is said that very little is known about the science of reproduction in space, and that the Micro-11 mission is expected to shed some light on the subject for the very first time. To be more specific, the experiments are going to measure how well human and bull sperm functions in space. In a post on its official website, the space agency mentioned that studying reproductive biology and all the matters that are related to it in space can be useful because microgravity can have certain effects that simply won’t be present on Earth, where the normal rate of gravity is perceived by the human body.
