How can I resist a story that combines b00b jobs and space tourism:

Bosses fear the implants may expand and burst due to cabin pressure, according to The Sun…

…Spokesman Will Whitehorn said: “We’ve discovered there may well be issues with breast augmentation.

“We’re not sure whether they could stand the trip – they could well explode.”

June is busting out all over…!

Captain, I dinna think she can take any more…

Also, the picture accompanying the article reminds me of this optical illusion (caution, not work safe).

What does this mean for Hooters Spacelines?

[Some gags courtesy of this thread, where I found the article]

Seriously, this seems a little overwrought. Unless they have gas in them, there should be no problem if they maintain a decent cabin pressure, and if they don’t, burst mammary enhancers may be the least of the problem (and it would make for more entertainment to have more pendulous objects in weightlessness). And for as much money as these folks are spending, I’m sure they could afford an ultrasound to make sure that they’re all fluid, and remove any bubbles from the bubbies with a needle if necessary, preflight.

I’d be more concerned about gee loads during acceleration and entry. Maybe a new crash program in bra technology is required.
