back to article Virgin rejects $1m space sex offer

Virgin Galactic has rather churlishly rejected a $1m offer to allow an unnamed company to shoot a zero-grav grumble flick aboard its SpaceShipTwo vehicle - thereby depriving science of crucial research into how humanity might procreate during the very long haul to the nearest Earth-like planet once we've finally screwed this …

    Maybe they'd consider it..

    if they add a condition to the contract that the crew must rebrand the craft exterior "Impure" prior to .. ahem... re-entry

    Stands to reason

    The cost to change the name of the company would have been way higher then that.

    5 minutes?

    good grief. 5 minutes to the money shot?

    Did they plan on using 15 year old boys?

    Ten Mile High Club

    I wonder how many deposits [snigger] will be withdrawn [fnarr] when the posh punters hear about the no-nookie rule. Or is it just "no cameras"?

    So no chance of joining the...

    ...sixty-two mile high club, then?

    At *any* cost?

    Gutted.

    Paris, just because.

    Perfect little globules floating around - for a few minutes, at least.

    I just wanted to be the first to post it, I know it's juvenile.

    Paris, who else?

    Doesn't this have an 8-passenger capacity?

    I thought so, anyway. $200k * 8 means the only way Virgin Galactic would have any interest in this $1M offer would be if they're struggling to fill capacity. Which sounds rather unlikely.

    Understandable

    Why would you want to shoot a porn movie on a space plane that doesn't go all the way?

    Paris - because, well just because really

    Now, a sex-in-space snuff movie...

    Scene: Silhouetted writhing to Fanfare for the Common Man

    <grumble noises>

    Psssssshhhhh noise as the airlock slowly opens

    HAL (fitted with the Andy Burnham voice module): "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you do that. And don't even think about putting this on the internet"

    Let's face it

    It'd need a good hose down afterwards.

    You wouldn't want to be on the next flight up otherwise, would you?

  13. Martin Lyne

    They'd need

    ..to cover the whole interior with towels and/or plastic lining. Probably dangerous.

    Also, very likely a poorly-aimed shot would ruin some other passengers flight. And for £200k you'd want your flight to be low-flying-jizzum free.

    It's all in the name

    You really can't expect an outfit called Virgin Galactic to allow the human docking maneuver to take place on their ship.

    $200k a pop...

    ...so they were planning 5 'pops'?

    Paris, because, well, obviously....

    Equity card?

    Doesn't look like I'll get that call for an audition now. At least I won't need an Equity Card though.

    Paris, as if she wouldn't.

    Awwwww

    So it's a non-starter for the 62 mile high club then?

    Pity, would have been perfect oppurtunity to film some scenes for 2069!

    Well she needs a media boost so i'm guess good old PH to be appearing in a spaceship near you soon.

    Then they'd have to rename it

    Lots of new names come to mind, none of them likely to fit with Branson's brand values, methinks...

    thank you, sir;

    and where's our Playmobil® icon?

    Already Been Done

    Why do you think they started putting women on the Shuttle? The literature is on the NASA website, you've just got to know how to find it. (hint: what you're looking for deals with stress and mental concerns due to lack of socialization).

    I figure every woman that's been in orbit has received the attentions of everyone on the shuttle crew several times and maybe simultaneously.

    Boring gits

    Boooooo to Virgin Space :(

    The thing you have to remember is that the porn industry is always always ahead of everyone else on technology, any new distribution medium, and new web standard or any new technology they are always using it before its even announced.

    If Virgin are not going to let them film in their space shuttles then expect the Ron Jeremy space program to be up and running by the time you are reading this

    This reminds me of Scruffy (The janator in Futurama) his favourate magazine is 'Zero-G Jugs"

    Clearly a quality publication that we should not be deprived of.

    Reminds me of

    that 'shopped picture of 2 aircraft; one a genuine Virgin A320 and one next to it with the decal 'Slut' on its tail!

    Question is, will Virgin ever get it up?

    Perhaps they wanted to trial the new condoms in space, you know, the ones coated with anaesthetic to prolong performance; the ones that if you reverse, mean you don't have to disturb anyone!

    Finally, in the spirit of FoTW, SpunkBubbles!!!!!

    Mines the latex one with Virgin Galactic on the sleeve.

    Five minutes?

    I can only presume this has been thought up by a man with little or no consideration given to the pleasure of the woman involved.

    Bring back seventies and eighties porn, where women were considered to be a little bit more than mere fuck machines or sperm receptacles. Much of todays hard core porn is violent, disgusting and humiliates women. Fair play to Virgin for denying this request, not that it fits in with their brand image at all. I am pleased that there is much 70's/80's porn I have yet to get my hairy palms on.

    The final facial...

    Or is that the final frontier?

    re: 5 minutes?

    Well it's doable: how long does it take to get up there? That there's your strip section and "rising action".

    A five minute window to reach the money shot is plenty for people who know the business.
