I don't care what anyone gives as the official explanation, the true angle here is a secret "sex in space" experiment that ended up being emotional

Maybe on the "vomit comet" practice flights. Probably more just a regular romance-at-work kind of thing, setting aside my not-so-well-thought-out
initial theory.
No biggie..They practice putting all kinds of "things" together on Earth first.
Besides, what you're talking about will eventually have to be addressed.
