Virgin Galactic Rejects Million-Dollar Offer to Film Sex Video

What a shame... this is something I would have liked to have seen. Sex in space is one of those final frontiers that people have often speculated about and although NASA has been questioned about it, they've always refused to answer whether it's happened yet.

GLASGOW, Scotland — The private company planning to take wealthy tourists to the edge of the atmosphere starting in late 2009 or early 2010 has refused a million-dollar proposal to film a sex video while the participants are floating gravity free, the company's president said.

Will Whitehorn, president of Virgin Galactic, said the offer, from an unidentified party, "was $1 million, up front, for a sex-in-space movie. That was money we had to refuse, I'm afraid."

Whitehorn disclosed the rejected transaction here Sept. 30 during the International Astronautical Congress. He said Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Branson's Virgin Group, is planning to begin flights of the WhiteKnightTwo aircraft in late 2009 or early 2010 from Sierra County, N.M.

The aircraft will carry the SpaceShipTwo craft, which is released during flight and then climbs to 100 kilometers in altitude to offer fee-paying passengers around five minutes of weightlessness as the vehicle approaches the limits of the Earth's atmosphere.

Virgin Galactic is charging about $200,000 per person for the two-hour flight. The company has received $40 million in deposits from 280 customers, Whitehorn said. Earlier this year, Whitehorn estimated that Virgin Galactic had spent some $100 million developing its business, mainly in research and development of the aircraft by Scaled Composites LLC of Mojave, Calif.

Well, duh. They're Virgin Galactic. Probably dedicated to spreading abstinence education throughout the known universe.

This is hardly suprising... considering the actual space (no gravity) part of the flight is about a minute, it barely (sic) gives the film Director a chance to say 'Action'. In fact... I don't know any guy who can fit a condom in zero gravity in less than a minute, most can't fit a condom if following illustrated guidelines.

"I must have left it in my other spacesuit. Don't worry, baby. You can't get pregnant in space. The little guys don't know which way to swim."

The tag line to the movie could have been "In space, no one can hear you cum."

"Of course I see stars, you ass."

"Baby, you know I'll respect you when we land."

"Houston, we have a problem here."

"Roger that. It happens to everyone."

'Houston - In and Out'

'Virgin Movie Flight, that's over and out, dickhead.'

Universal abstinence my ass! We're just waiting for them to achieve orbit, then we strike!

Would that be one small shtup for man?

Or one giant [bleep] for mankind?

I'm with those who speculate on the possibilities. I mean, what do you push against with your toes? Would it all be oral? Inquiring minds demand to know.

Porn in space can't happen for a while yet, the actual space flights that include average really rich people, are one per flight, the rest of the passengers are crew. Can't do a porn with one passenger, who holds the camera, and who is the partner?

Most astronaughts don't want to do porn, they are scientists and flyboys, they either want to examine what is going on around them or fly stuff. Sex in front of a camera doesn't factor into either of those, well scientists may film porn, they sorta already did for a documentary or two.

The weightless flights, are not good for filming porn, because you get 5 minutes of weightlessness, in a rather small plane. They did an episode of Mythbusters where they get on one for research. Possible to film a porn scene, but would be hard, you get about 5 minutes to do sex, which is cut down because you have to be in a safe position when you first enter weightless and when you exit. So the two stars would have to join while weightless, screw for a few minutes and then seperate, would take 60 or more flights to film the one scene, that would be one incredibly expensive scene.

As for how, sheesh ya'll got no imagination. When your weightless you gotta push off something to move about. Well when your with someone else weightless the actual joining and everything is simply alot of groping and positioning of hands so you move together in the right way. The hard part though will be not careening off the walls. That whole inertia thing, if he puts it to her harder than she puts back or vice versa, they will either spin in place or move toward something not moving. That can bring up a whole new meaning to I got a headache.
