"Space Babies: Dutch Firm's Ambitious Plan for the Big Bang"

TL;DR Summary
Dutch firm Spaceborn United is pioneering space sex research with the aim of achieving natural conception and birth in the partial gravity environment found on Mars. The firm is currently working on conceiving an embryo in space, starting with mice and eventually moving to human sperm and egg cells. The embryo is cryogenically frozen to protect it during re-entry. However, ethical concerns remain regarding the hazards of space radiation and different gravity environments on vulnerable human embryos. Despite the challenges, the firm's founder, Egbert Edelbroek, is confident that a baby will be born in space within his lifetime.
