I see that The People's Great Space Station has once again exceeded as built capacity by more than 100% so kudos to NASA and the rest for achieving better than full occupancy. I do wonder though if we get any other increased bang for the buck per orbiting astronaut or if it all comes out the same whether its just 3 people in orbit or if it's 7. At this point there are no new discoveries out of it up there and to be honest the only real surprise I expect from Low Earth Orbit is if more astronauts came down then went up.
Has anyone ever run a spread sheet that shows what the # of orbiting astronauts vs orbital productivity rates looks like?
Speaking of that, have they done any IVF experiments in orbit? Can it be shown known if sexual reproduction happen in the absence of gravity? Enqueuing minds need to know before we they book passage on the next great space station.

wonder if boiled eggs are on the Station menu?
I wonder at the spell checkers animus against the word enquiring but I’m good with encueing, whatever that is.
why IVF? there's a time-tested method that could be closely examined/tested in space.
the children, of course, might lack direction, but that's nothing new.
Ha!
Encueing is when the facts line up with theories proposed by great minds.
