We're going nowhere, long term, away from Earth, until we grapple with both biological reproduction off-Earth (sex) and the many ways that issue is blurred and mediated interpersonally (sexuality). In this article for the venerable and now resurrected futurist magazine OMNI, I introduce some of these issues. Thanks to editor Claire L. Evans for asking for this article.
If the anthropological issues regarding human space migration interest you, you might like to have a look at my recent book, Emigrating Beyond Earth: Human Adaptation and Space Colonization (Springer, 2012).
