Couples bid to start 100-mile high club

The boss of a space programme for tourists says couples are queuing up to be the first to have sex in outer space.

Will Whitehorn, president of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, said the group had been inundated with enquiries from couples hoping to make history.

He said: "We've had a variety of people inquire about it. One got in touch about a charter flight so they could be the first to have intercourse in space and get in the Guinness Book of Records.

"We've also had an approach from people wanting to make a movie."

But scientists have raised doubts over whether it would be possible to enjoy an out of this world experience in zero gravity.

Dr James Logan, a space medicine expert, said the first tourists would be weightless for just five minutes and would be better off waiting for the first missions to Mars later this century.

He said: "Sex in zero gravity would more or less be a flailing exercise quite frankly. Sex in Martian gravity might be pretty appealing though."

So they want to go to space, paying millions just to have sex? wouldnt a 5 star hotel do the trick? guess that wont satisfy them umm yeah, crazy.

That's pretty weird...thanks for the read anyway.

wouldnt sex in space be expensive and unsatisfieng

Wouldn't a hotel room at the top floor of a high rise building suffice???


... I guess not... Some people just have more money than sense...
