How far would male ejaculate go on the moon? You may need to incorporate a penis airlock in order to make it work (ie get it out of the spacesuit). A friend suggests this might make it go farther.
Sounds like my Friday night.
I don’t know what it says about me but I find this question fascinating.
NASA has long been puzzled by a long period of silence during the first moon walk, broken only by one of the astronauts suddenly blurting out: “Look at how far we’ve come!”
Didn’t a Soviet flight have two astronauts do it for the sake of the nation?
And he told us he was golfing.
this was actually part of the contingency plan for jetpack failure.
Actually, an ordinary penis won’t work. You need a pressurized space penis.
Yep, a space penis, so it [del]works[/del] ejaculates upside down.
Space p0rn!
Chicks in chrome lingerie, spooge flying across the room.
All the more reason we need to go back to the moon.
Well, I read the average distance on earth is 1m and the average ejaculatory speed is 45 km/hr. The moon’s gravity is 1/6th that of earth’s, or 1.624 m/s². From these points of data you should be able to work it out using kinematic equations.
The maximum recorded distance on Earth is about 5 metres (this was a question in a pub quiz I went to last week).
Yes, he was shining his putter.
“Hey NASA, whats it cost to get a ball washer up here?”
To the inside surface of the space suit, I think.
Google says the average ejaculation goes at 28 mph. If we assume a penis 80 cm above the lunar surface, pointed 45° upward, I get about 98 meters.
I guess this must be what Neil Armstrong’s family meant when they issued that statement last night urging people “to explore and push the limits, and to selflessly serve a cause greater than themselves.”
But if it’s ejecting from a pressurised environment to a vacuum, it will have a lot more thrust due to the differences in pressure, wouldn’t it? I mean, if you poke a hole in a spacesuit, the air gushes out. I think the effect will be greater than that due to lower gravity.
In all seriousness, I’d say there’s maybe a 75/25 chance somebody knows this already. That is, there was more than enough room inside the Apollo LM for an essentially long underwear-only wearing astronaut to have, ah, yanked one out for fun & science & the greater glory of capitalism!
Giving that these guys were mostly fighter jocks & test pilots, one the one hand I can see at least one of them maybe going for it. But on the other, I can see it being more than a little too homo-erotic for them too. :eek:
2 cm. The pressure suit got in the way.
