GLASGOW, Scotland - 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 on Tuesday during the International Astronautical Congress. He said Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, is planning to begin flights of the White Knight Two aircraft in late 2009 or early 2010 from Sierra County, N.M.

Right on, Mayor Navarrete.  You’ve just earned Lo Prado a boom in nursing-home tourists; now get some of those Danish girls over, and the town’s economy is seriously gonna blow.
