LOVE IN A SPACESHIP

f.N,Z P.A.-Reuter— Copyright) MOSCOW, Dec. 4. Love in a spaceship is a necessity and Russia must officially recognise it said a Soviet scientist on Friday. Mr Igor Zabelin warned that "love as an emotion will play a very important role in the future in the populating of outer space." “We must not only

deeply analyse love as an emotion, bnt also try to regulate it properly.” Writing in the magazine “Moskva,” Mr Zabelin predicted that “in the future when mankind will fulfill its mission of populating outer space, men and women will be sent in spacecraft somewhere for many years.” Noting that “when a couple lives together for five to seven years, they may get siek of each other and very often there is a

divorce,” Mr Zabelin warned that such coolness could cause grave problems in outer space. “The factor of love must be taken into special consideration because it will solve an Important role in their life in outer space.” he said of future space colonisers. “Love has a cosmic factor,” he said. “It is very important and we must pay far more attention to tbjs problem than we do now.”
