   Well, Brad, while they haven't sent up any husband/wife teams yet,
I believe that I remember hearing that the Soviets have already
conducted "one of the most fascinating experiments of the space
program," aboard their Salyut station sometime in the last couple
of years.  Also, keep in mind that the Shuttle is >awfully< small
inside (except when Spacelab is attached), and that if there were
two mission specialists aboard (I beleive the husband/wife teams
are all airs of mission specialists), it'd be kind of hard to
find any privacy on board. I don't know if there's even a hatch
between the flight deck and the lower deck. This could present
problems, especially for upstanding, all-american astronauts who
would otherwise be willing to experiment.
