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.
-------no more nsex at link.....but-------
After thinking really, really hard, and brainstorming with my higher power about this project for about ten seconds, I decided that deducting the 200 thousand from the million dollar offer, I would make $800,000..and thats not bad for watching...errr, filming two people making love while in space..so, I thought about it again for another 10 seconds and thought..well, sure! I can take the ride, hide a camera in my hat and then let these people get at it for the camera and people back on earth. But then again....let me think for about another ten seconds. This IS a science project..isn't it? and it wouldn't necessarily be an XXX rated video, would it??? Another 10 seconds please....
