Sending human sperm into space, can "God made man" really be realized?

Sending sperm to another planet to cultivate "space babies" sounds like a science fiction movie, but scientists are already studying it. If people want to emigrate to other planets, they must consider a question: can human beings reproduce life normally in the space environment?

? According to Wired, a Spanish research team is studying the effects of microgravity on human reproduction. They put some frozen human sperm in a box and took it to the plane. The plane swooped down quickly after taking off, and then repeated the action. In this process, a microgravity environment was formed in the cabin, which simulated the weightlessness in space. Spanish scientists have carried out many experiments on this subject. The results show that the effect of microgravity on the health of frozen sperm can be ignored. The related papers of this experiment are being peer-reviewed, which is the first published experimental result in this field.

"Our research is at the forefront of human space replication," said Antonio Perez Borch, a professor at Catalan Institute of Technology who participated in the research. . In fact, it is not the first time that Spanish scientists have put forward the idea of sending sperm into space. As early as April 20 18, NASA entrusted Space Exploration Technology Company to transport human sperm to the International Space Station.

In the experiment conducted by the research team of Catalonia University of Technology, Spain, the frozen sperm was in microgravity for less than 9 seconds, which affected the accuracy of the experimental results. Perez Pochi, a member of the research team, said that they will continue to conduct long-term experiments and try to use thawed human sperm.
