Boob Job Ban In Space
Updated: 10:50, Wednesday March 29, 2006

Women with boob jobs may be banned from Virgin's space flights.

Bosses fear the implants may expand and burst due to cabin pressure, according to The Sun.

More than 157 people have paid £115,000 each to travel into space on the Virgin Galactic space "shuttle".

Spokesman Will Whitehorn said: "We've discovered there may well be issues with breast augmentation.

"We're not sure whether they could stand the trip - they could well explode."

People with heart or circulation problems may also be ruled out.

The first trips are due in early 2008 and will have room for only seven or eight people.

Celebrity passengers include former Dallas actress Victoria Principal.

Virgin is also in talks to get 75-year-old Star Trek actor William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk.

It's odd. i'm kinda busty, but non of my dive masters or instructors have ever asked if I had augmentation. You would think it would be more of a hazard in diving, than in space flight.

Well not really! Compression in not a worry for implants! Decompression is though! Implants can rupture under decompression, as most implants are filled at sea level normal or there abouts, pressure.

There go my plans to film porn movies in space. None of the stars would be allowed to go.

And as for that strip-bar-in-orbit I was thinking about....sigh.

Careful. You live in New York State, and Clinton DOES have a thing for busty lesbians.

Then again, watching you kick him in the nuts might be entertaining.

Didn't the Mythbusters test this and found that it was le bogus, and that, like, your head would actually explode before your boobs did?

I think that was only and in atmosphere exposures/decompressions. In space your whole body would most likely explode.

I see a new mythbusters coming up.....

Yeah, but, don't they have a pressurized cabin in that thing?

 

[zeb1094]

I think it's a publicity piece and only ment to insite speculation!

Damn, I think I have the episode recorded, but it's on loan...

Hey, it was in The Sun afterall, so accuracy is not really a factor.

They are filled at sea level, and with every 10 meters, you add another atmosphere. So at 80 meters, they should be compressed by a factor of about 8. If you have to do an emergency ascent, they would rapidly decompress. The odds of a cabin decompressurization of magnitude 8, that was otherwise surviveable is practiaclly nil. The odds of a reg malufnction foceing an emergency ascent are much greater, it seems to me.

And is is unlikly that implants would compress, especially saline implants as it is imposible, at least with our technology, to compress a liquid. Unlike air which can be compressed to a liquid state. So if you have air filled implants you may have something to worry about, besides floating to the surface that is.

If a liquid will not compress, then what happens if the membrane surronding them is subjected to increaed pressure? Would it compress and cause leaks?

The question isn'tmeant to be argumenative, as I said, my instructors never mentioned it at all. For all I know, since they are stored inside your body and not in an air space, they may not even be subject to pressure differentials.

I doubt it, as the bodys cells are filled with water. I don't believe it is an issue. Bodies of saliors involved in implosions are not squished, it is just the spaces within the body that are filled with air that are ruptured, inward.
