Dr. Alexander Layendecker is the founder and current Director of the Astrosexological Research Institute (ASRI), a Cape Canaveral, Florida-based 501c3 non-profit research organization dedicated to the study of human sexuality and reproduction factors as they apply to outer space environments. He served seven years as a USAF space operations officer for spacecraft launch and recovery, before transferring to the USAF Reserve as an HH-60G helicopter pilot for Combat Search and Rescue. During that time, he completed a Master of Public Health and PhD in Human Sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, where his doctoral research focused on human sexuality and reproduction in off-Earth environments, the history of research in this area, and the research gaps that must be filled in the future in order to make long-term settlement of other worlds a viable possibility. He also holds a Master of Joint Warfare from the USAF Air University’s Air Command and Staff College, for which his thesis focused on future Space Rescue operations.
