If they’re going to do it on a suborbital hop, that’s not much time for filming – maybe three minutes before they’d have to get back in their seats. More time would be available on parabolic flight, but that’s been done already (The Uranus Experiment).
Come to think of it, although it is titillating and naughty and whatnot, The Uranus Experiment footage has some scientific value. At the very least, it is apparent that the “dolphin method” is not necessary.
Given the track record Paypal has with cutting off websites with even slightly racy material (webcomics, for instance) they won’t be flying SpaceX.
Which is rather a pity, because I strongly suspect that until the first Final Frontier Saloon opens, complete with dancing girls and space-weary hookers, space colonization is but a pipe dream.
You’re letting them get away with “sexploration”, Rand? I was hoping you had a portmanteau with “settlement”.
