Abstract
The article explores the role of virtual reality technologies and sex robots in addressing the sexual needs of astronauts engaged in space missions. The positive impacts of sexual activity on physical and psychological health are highlighted, as well as the challenges astronauts will face in space due to the limited opportunity for emotional relationships. The need to develop innovative solutions, such as sex robots and the use of virtual reality to meet these needs, is analysed. The potential benefits and challenges of using virtual reality in space are compared with those of sex robots. We conclude by emphasising the importance of carefully considering astronauts' preferences and the operational context so as to determine the most appropriate technology to support their sexual needs in space.
