Description: Space… it’s big, it’s confusing, and there isn’t any gravity! That’s why we have a dedicated team of people up in the International Space Station running all kinds of experiments to try and figure out just what the heck is even going on up there. You truly have no idea how much of us ordering Popeye’s I had to cut out of this. This was definitely our longest recording session ever and I was livid!Follow us on Twitter @SciShowTangents, where we’ll tweet out topics for upcoming episodes and you can ask the science couch questions! While you're at it, check out the Tangents crew on Twitter: Stefan: @itsmestefanchin Ceri: @ceriley Sam: @slamschultz Hank: @hankgreenIf you want to learn more about any of our main topics, check out these links:[Truth or Fail]Chicken Fathttps://www.nasa.gov/topics/aeronautics/features/aafex_biofuels.htmlBone losshttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/explorer/Investigation.html?#id=187Perfumehttps://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/9-12/features/spacescents_feature.htmlhttps://spinoff.nasa.gov/spinoff2002/ch_1.html[Fact Off]Wake Shield Facilityhttps://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=19920014405https://er.jsc.nasa.gov/seh/pg46s95.htmlhttps://uwaterloo.ca/molecular-beam-epitaxy/about/what-epitaxyhttps://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2002/03jan_bioniceyeshttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0042207X01003839https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S009457650000148XImage: https://archive.org/details/STS069-724-095 Mouse sperm experimenthttps://www.pnas.org/content/114/23/5988http://iss.jaxa.jp/en/kiboexp/theme/second/pmlatter/spacepup/ [Ask the Science Couch]Human pregnancyhttps://emergency.cdc.gov/radiation/pdf/prenatal.pdfhttps://www.livescience.com/33047-space-sex-pregnancy.htmlhttps://www.thoughtco.com/can-women-get-pregnant-in-space-3072590NASA sperm studyhttps://futurism.com/sperm-space-nasaSpace childbirth startuphttps://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/01/space-childbirth-babies/579064/Other animal developmenthttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/what-space-jellyfish-tell-us-about-interplanetary-travel/https://www.popsci.com/article/technology/space-born-jellyfish-hate-life-earth/https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/wnjkkw/making-babies-in-space-may-be-a-terrible-idea[Butt One More Thing]Flatworms in spacehttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/reg2.79
