It’s strange to think that, in decades past, there was a competition between the world’s two superpowers to see which one could master spaceflight first, with some of the brightest minds in existence being brought together and billions of dollars being spend on research… and now we’re crowdfunding space pornos. I’m not kidding. Pornhub, one of the biggest names in the porn industry, is looking to raise $3.4 million on Indiegogo to create the world’s first porno shot in space.

Porn has a lot in common with spaceflight. In both cases, a large blast is crucial to the mission’s success. Plus, the zero-gravity aspect of spaceflight can swell the imagination and conjure up all sorts of erotic flights of fancy. Now Pornhub.com is hoping to thrust itself into the stratosphere by crowdfunding a porno that will be shot 68 miles above the Earth’s surface on a shuttle service like Virgin Galactic. The “Sexploration” campaign hopes to raise $3.4 million in the next 30 days via Indiegogo.com. If the funding level is reached, Pornhub vice president Corey Price is shooting for a late 2016 release. “If all goes well, the schedule will include an entire six months of training for space travel for our crew and performers before we’re comfortable with launching them into space,” Price told The Huffington Post by email. “We need to know all participants are sufficiently prepared for the rigors of space-age coital activity (as well as filming in or past the stratosphere).”
