Actually, the space pr0nographers plans and all my hopes and dreams for anti-gravity porno never even had a chance to launch (go ahead, make your double-enterndres now). Our only hope, really for porn in space would have been with Branson’s Virgin Galactic — sadly, he of the racy and the risk-taking is not interested in seeing if my HOWTO Have Sex In Space is orbit-worthy. cNet tells us,

I think you’re worried about nothing.
People film themselves in airplane restrooms, why not do the same on the Virgin Galactic? By the time it launches, how small will HD video cameras be?
