Should NASA be held accountable to what they are researching by the American public?  I think that every division of the Government needs to be accountable to the American public to a degree.  We, as Americans, have the right to know and influence where our tax dollars are flowing.  NASA just like every other Government Agency only exists to serve the American people.  With that being said, should NASA study sex in space?  There are many things that come to my mind when this question is asked.  First, is the ability to have sex in space an issue that currently needs to be studied?  Next, is this topic where we need to currently channel funds?  Finally, what are the benefits of having answers to this question?

I think that this topic needs to be studied however, I don’t think that now is the time.  Eventually we will need to be able to expand our living area and move into space.  Many generations from now, if our population continues to grow, this will be a very important topic.  Our Government is currently over 17 trillion dollars in debt.  There are plenty of other areas that could use the funds that would be needed for this research.  There are benefits to this topic.  Where ever humans go sex will surely follow.  It is a natural and life sustaining act.  We do need to know if it is possible not just to have sex in space but to give birth in space. 

The end result is that NASA should be accountable to the American public for where their funds are being directed.  It is important that the ability to have sex in space be studied however, I don’t think that is currently on the top of the list of needs.
