Sex in Space



In 2002 I wrote a screenplay IN HEAVEN ABOVE where former Soviet province attempts to save itself from bankruptcy by holding a lottery with the prize of being the first man to have sex in space in their revamped space shuttle. I sent the scenario to a number of film companies. Rejection rejection rejection. One film producer was intrigued and asked how i knew that no one had not had sex in space.

"NASA is too square. In fact NASA spokesman Bill Jeffs of the Johnson Space Center in Houston has said,m "We don't study sexuality in space, and we don't have any studies ongoing with that."

"They are a little square. But what about the Russians?"

"You need a special suit to maintain blood pressure for sex. Their suits are built for that. If you google 'sex in space', you come up with nothing. It doesn't interest the scientists and most of space missions have been with men and astronauts are not gay. At least none have come out of the closet."

He accept my explanation, but didn't offer to option my screenplay.

Now celestial space tours are offering weddings in space for $2.3 million per person.

Honeymoons in orbit can't be far behind this venture into Space with special suits made for the conjugal passage through the stars.

Space hookers will be next, unless we're heading for Venus which everyone knows is populated by blue-skinned vixens in fur bikinis. And they do it for free.
