News reaches us of a sex doll retailer which wants to provide companion dolls for Elon Musk’s SpaceX missions, in order to help keep astronauts and the first Mars colonists happy. Sex Doll Genie is a US and European business run by husband and wife team Amit and Janet Stevenson, and while this might sound like a wheeze to get publicity, it might also have some substance to it as prior to becoming an entrepreneur, Amit was an aerospace engineer.
“The purpose of wanting to send companion dolls to space is not sex,” Amit said. “Most of our customers use love dolls to feel accompanied in lonely situations [and] what’s lonelier than being in space or on Mars? As an aerospace engineer I fully understand space travel – it is something I am passionate about and have dedicated a huge chunk of my life too. This isn’t about cheapening the profession of astronauts or space exploration in general. Sex doll technology is surprisingly sophisticated and our production team can custom make asexual dolls just for the purpose of ‘human presence’ to offer a sense of companionship and avoid loneliness.”
He added: “We’re happy to work with authorities to make it suitable and really useful for the ones who need it. Our ultimate goal is to explore how new approaches, based on a very effective solution we have found for lonely people on Earth, could be applied to space travel.”
SpaceX announced in 2017 that its goal was to land the first humans on Mars by 2024. The doll retailer would like to see a mix of male, female, and transgender dolls sent to space, and the impact of their presence measured.
“With a Mars colony no longer the stuff of science fiction, there is a lot of relevance and a growing need to look at how those first visitors to Mars will find replacements for traditional human companionship and connection in an inhospitable, alien environment where human contact will be severely limited and returning home is not an option,” said Amit.
