Whitehorn: “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.” Of course, if they do pose a problem, Virgin might end up shutting out a significant fraction of potential tourists from the entertainment industry…

Oldest and safest Spaceline company in the industry, Blue Ridge Nebula Spaceline of Denver Colorado CEO Dr. Doug Haynes says that the Haynes Saucers 1 –g Spin-up flight maneuver effect in space coupled with an internal cabin atmosphere of 14.7 psi ( nitrogen/oxygen mixture) will prevent any unhealthy risk for passenger short and long term. The 1-G artifice gravitation filed effect and 14.7 psi nitrogen/oxygen mixture is mandatory for docking at our Delta Hotel rotating passenger and cargo space based transfer facilities.
