Can humans actually get erections in space?

Apparently… yes.

In this Quickie episode, Eric and Alicia react to an astronaut’s firsthand account of waking up aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery with what he described as an “intense” erection in microgravity.

From NASA’s historical discomfort around discussing sex in orbit to the physics of thrusting in zero gravity, this conversation goes from hilarious to surprisingly scientific very quickly.

We get into:

• The astronaut memoir that confirmed erections in space
• Why NASA historically avoided conversations about sex
• The physics problem of thrusting in microgravity
• CPR harnesses and why the research may already exist
• Why sex in space keeps becoming a real engineering discussion

Because if humans are going to live in orbit, eventually someone is going to ask the obvious questions.

And apparently… someone already did.

The Daily Show is talking about sex in space.

And yes, they basically summoned us.

In this first 0g-SPOT Quickie, Eric and Alicia react to a recent Daily Show segment exploring the “Thousand Mile High Club” and the realities of intimacy in microgravity.

From a 20-year-old “two suit” designed for space sex to very real questions about fluids, hygiene, and logistics, the conversation quickly goes from comedy to curiosity.

We get into:

• The infamous two-person space suit and whether it actually works
• What happens to bodily fluids in microgravity
• Hygiene, clothing, and whether astronauts even do laundry
• Why this conversation keeps disappearing and coming back
• Whether we are early… or just weird

This is a quick, unfiltered reaction to seeing a mainstream show finally go there.

Because the question is not if people are thinking about sex in space.

It is why we are still pretending they are not.

What happens when sex, technology, and identity collide?

In Part 2 of Set Your Phasers to Vibrate, Eric and Alicia continue their conversation with Rod Roddenberry and Garrett Wang, moving beyond Star Trek and into the realities we are rapidly approaching.

From holodecks to AI companions, this episode explores how technology is reshaping intimacy, desire, and even love itself.

Together they discuss:

• AI generated intimacy and the question of consent
• Ownership of identity in a world of digital replicas
• Virtual relationships and emotional attachment
• Whether love with an AI can be real
• Why human connection, communication, and presence still matter

As science fiction becomes reality, the questions become less hypothetical.

If we can create perfect digital partners, what happens to real relationships?

And what does love actually mean when anything can be simulated?
