No porn in space - not yet, anyway

It's reported that Virgin Galactic has turned down a lucrative offer.

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."

Well, it's hardly surprising, is it? I mean, what else would you expect from a company named Virgin Galactic? Besides, I'd think they'd be concentrating on a rather different kind of re-entry!
