So are we going to start to get people up in space to have sex and produce children in an effort to force evolve a “spacer” catagory of humans which will eventualy addapt to their living atmosphere in space… or will they just end up looking like the people in Wall-E?

Sci Fi idea: Homo Sapiens had cultivated the whole solar system, but had yet to re-create an environment suitable for pregnancy. So Earth turns into a gigantic hospital (as well as sex club), when people live in the rest of the Solar System…. but evil is at work to destroy humanity by blowing up the only place where birth comes from!!

From Wikipedia:
“the Belt declared independence after creating Confinement Asteroid, a habitat with spin gravity that permitted safe gestation of children”
