Astronauts like to experiment. And recently there’s been push at NASA to start researching sex without gravity—everything from pregnancy to the pill’s potency to the effects of effing with low blood pressure. Now, you can’t tell me that astronauts haven’t at least played with their own equipment, but with a three year mission to Mars on the horizon, they’re going to need to get some deeper satisfaction. After all, like George Michael says, “Sex is natural, sex is good.” So, with life in mind, the agency is considering running tests to make it even better by trying it in a frictionless environment. (Bonus! No need to pack a few years supply of lube.) Plus, I’m sure if all those top scientist conduct “research” we will at least see some interesting ozone-proof titanium sex toys, which may prove to be useful here on earth with global warming and all. Clearly, this is a worthy study for the space race! Especially since you will soon be able to tie the knot in a rocket ship, it’s time to make the thousand mile high club possible.

Virgin’s big dreamin’ billionaire, Richard Branson, just announced plans that could take the mile high club to a whole new level. The first passenger airline with plans to boldly go where only NASA has gone before, Virgin Galactic, is set to launch their 6-seater spaceship in 2009. For the low price of $200,000 a ticket, rich people will get the chance to lay other rich people in the shuttle’s outer space bathroom. What better way to spend your money than to get an astronaut to hit your G-spot in zero G’s? [Gizmodo]
