[Music] People, when they think of space, they typically imagine zero G, where everything is floating. But that's not a prerequisite for being in space.

If you have a rotating space station, by way of this centrifugal force of the rotating wheel, you can create any fraction of gravity you want, even 1G, which would be equivalent to Earth, right on that outer perimeter. So if you could be in space and on that perimeter in 1G, it is no different than what you'd be doing here on Earth at all.

But if you don't rotate up and you're sort of drifting towards your destination, you are weightless, and then everything is different. If you're having sex in a weightless environment, you need things like straps. There are probably some people who are fully equipped with this anyway.

But I'm just saying you begin to see the manifestations of Newton's Laws of Motion. You're there floating in space, and then you move towards someone and they just sort of bounce off. The movement is sort of preserved; there's no friction.

So there you go. If you want to sort of get
