#2 No matter what position the dirty deed occurs in the sperm seem to find their way to the destination. That suggest to me gravity has little to do with it and all would work well in microgravity as long as they were careful not to, ahem, thrust so hard the couple was separated.

The real issues are (1) What happens to a fetus in microgravity, while in the womb is muscle growth in any way connected to gravity resistance (probably not) (2) Are we ready to accept having children that could probably never return to Earth, because if they grow up in space their muscles are going to be flaccid.
