This website is complete junk.
Wasn’t that a joke from some comedian?
I know this is science memes, but this is just straight up bullshit repackaged with a clickbait title
It is, it was a bit in one episode of Conan’s podcast, they even mentioned in another episode that some website reported it as true.
We might soon have a drug that stops sperm production. That would be welcome news for space gooners.
Edit: I just wanted to say “space gooner”.
We already have drugs that stop women from getting pregnant from direct nuts, let alone stray ones. I’m not saying that female astronauts should go on birth control to let the boys blast rope, but this cannot be the actual reason.

This is garbage
I’m not looking to have a baby, but I gotta admit that if I were an astronaut and the one-in-a-million chance of getting impregnated by floating sperm happened, that’d be incredible. I’d have the first baby conceived in space! What a cool story to have in a family’s lore.
Of course, that’s provided it survives the rest of the trip.
This is how we get Space Jesus

I’m going to make a bet that most female astronauts are going to take hormones to stop menstruation. Which will also stop ovulation.
I mean there are other reasons why this suggested is invalid . See other comments.
But I’m also pointing out this one.
Thought you couldn’t get it up in zero G - and even If you could, we don’t actually know if the mechanisms needed to ejaculate would function in zero G.
