Packing for Mars author Mary Roach debunks an alleged NASA study on sex positions in a zero gravity orbital environment. "It's the greatest hoax on the Internet," she says. Roach also recalls what cosmonaut Aleksandr Laveykin, who spent 174 days in space, had to say on sex in space.

She took us into the world of cadavers and examined the anatomy, physiology and psychology behind sex. Now, Mary Roach discovers the surreality and weirdness of space.
For example, what happens when you've been in space for a year? And is it possible for a human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour? From the space shuttle training toilet to NASA's crash simulation tests, Roach explores the strange universe. - Commonwealth Club
