Virgin Galactic says thanks, but no thanks to space porn movie offer

Virgin Galactic, the first commercial space “airline” has reportedly declined an offer of $1 Million, to allow the production of the worlds first galactic porn movie.

Regular flights on Virgin Galactic cost $200,000 each, so the offer of $1 Million seems quite generous, but Virgin Galactic politely declined.

Space flights are scheduled to start in late 2009 or early 2010. Virgin plan to offer the trips using 2 aircraft flying out of the Mojave desert. Once the program gets underway, spacecraft will take off from a new space port currently under construction in La Cruces, NM.

Of course, since this is news from Virgin, who are operated by what can only be described as the worlds most experienced marketing guru, the whole thing could also be another of their brilliant gimmicks to generate some free PR. And it seems to be working quite well for them.

If you have $200,000, and would like to fly into space (without taking your clothes off for a movie), then you can hand over a $20,000 deposit and book a trip, there are however already 280 people ahead of you, so it may take a while to get a spot.
