This seminar is part informational, part brainstorming, and all fun.  With NASA looking at sending a manned mission to Mars, and the space tourism industry starting to develop, one question stands out: will couples get to share intimacies in space, and what would it be like?

Agenda:

  1. Introduction to Space Tourism
  2. Effects of zero gravity on the human body
  3. Psychological effects of living in close quarters
  4. Intimacy in space: facts and fiction
  5. Mars Journey and Space Hotels
  6. Open discussion: What would you like to do?
 

About the Presenters:

Sam Coniglio is a space tourism consultant who is looking at all aspects of living, working, and playing in Low Earth Orbit.   He is founder of the Space Tourism Club, a group of designers and artists, developing new concepts for space architecture and promoting the nascent private space industry.

Lara Battles is a practicing psychotherapist and teaches Social Sciences at Allen Hancock College.   She has an affinity for things spatial since encountering the X-15 rocket plane. She has studied and lived in extremes of human habitats in remote areas of Montana, Mexico and the teen frontier.  Her interest in sex in space is purely hypothetical...so far.

Brook Mantia is a space activist since joining the L5 Society in 1979. She's currently President of the Golden Gate Space Frontier Society (the local chapter of the National Space Society) and Corporate Secretary for the Space Frontier Foundation, as well as being a member of several other space organizations. Her passion is opening the space frontier to human settlment as soon as possible. She lives with her husband Vince and works as a legal assistant.

Sarah Goodman is an anthropologist by training and a bureaucrat by profession. Her qualifications for this panel are abiding interests in sex, space, and human cultures, seperately and in combination. A long time reader of science fiction, and occasional advisor to folks who write the stuff, sheÕs been working on the designs for _Mama RosaÕs Spaceport, Bar and Variable Gravity House of Pleasure_ for going on 30 years now.

 

This is the first of a series of seminars to educate the public about space tourism. We hope to get you excited and involved in designing fun for the future.
