1 - they are not in a weightless environment
2 - they are also in a solution, so whatever liquids released become
	part of that solution (in air, this would be comperable to a
	gas, which I presume they put up with and have mechanics to
	cope with)
3 - they also do lots of other stuff right where they are that would 
	be socially, hygenically and mechanically unacceptible in a
	space vehicle
4 - do they really have monthly (+/-) menstruation cycles, or is it more
	like once a year if they aren't pregnant and then they are likely
	to get knocked up?
