NASA has been concerned about astronauts conducting sexual relations during missions for quite some time, even to the point where the space agency officially prohibits sex and conception in space.

Haig Aintablian, an emergency physician and fellow in space medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, explained that there are good reasons why NASA bans sex in space, and its reasons aren't so astronauts are distracted from their duties.

NASA bans conception in space simply because of the limited knowledge it, and other space agencies have about pregnant women working in space and the possible health impacts that would follow.

Humans have known for quite some time that space impacts the health of humans in various forms, hence NASA and other space agencies' enforcement of astronauts sticking to a rigorous workout schedule while aboard a long stay on the International Space Station (ISS).

Despite the various appropriate concerns for conception in space, Aintablian explained that the overall stance of sex in space will need to change in order for humans to spread to different planets, such as Mars.

Despite the obvious benefits of learning if space sex is safe, Aintablian admits that there are quite a few more important things to do before space agencies venture down that path, but Aintablian says that "Humanity's first space baby" should be a celebrated moment and a "marker of humankind's greatest achievement." However, it should be done safely and with due diligence on the risks.
