Re: mammalian reprodution in "zero g" - bad news?

bad news?
but we will not know for sure intill a flight experiment is done.

and a flight experiment should include simulated moon and mars gravity as well

Re: mammalian reprodution in "zero g" - bad news?

As a wild layman's guess, nothing but zero-gravity will be impossible for successful and safe mammalian reproduction.

Partial zero gee and partial centripetal gravity simulant? Good question.

3/8th gee mammalian reproduction is more important IMHO, in other words, Mars!
