The Russian Rosaviakosmos space agency and US outfit Space Adventures are offering newly-weds the chance to celebrate their love in a zero-gravity, $40m trip-of-a-lifetime to the International Space Station.
The package includes eight months' training and a white-knuckle post-nuptial rollercoaster blast aboard a Soyuz space craft. Since eight months is longer than the duration of the avaerage marriage these days, we can't see there being many takers. Rosaviakosmos cannot even confirm that intergalactic sex will be permitted - which would certainly be the first question any potential honeymooners would ask.

Add stringent checks to confirm that candidates "don't have bad habits, money from illegal sources and don't belong to any terrorist organisation," as a spokesman put it, and you've pretty well taken all of the fun out of space tourism.
