One small step for porn, one giant leap for pornkind.

It really speaks to the success of a company when they plan to move their terrestrial business dealings to the astral level. So, must mean business is good for Pornhub, who just started a crowd-funding campaign seeking to launch $3.4 million so they can shoot a porn in space. Well … good luck with that cum-shot. Visit www.antigravitysemen.org for more information.

This is Pornhub's second attempt at furthering societal progess after introducing the WankBand earlier this year. The watch-like gadget collects power when moved in an up and down motion, meaning you can basically masturbate your way to energy independence. Hurrah! But now, they've made history by announcing plans to bring porn, American's favorite pastime, to space.

Makes sense. Pornhub has no doubt exhausted every earthly sexual fantasy on their site with their extensive selection and video variety, so if they want to keep their users hooked, they'll have to move into uncharted territory and offer users things they've never seen before.

Pornhub VP Corey Price explains the company's plans regarding the "Sexploration" mission:

We’re looking to pioneer a one-of-a-kind mission to push the boundaries of intergalactic sexploration, defy gravity and make history. We are excited to change the adult industry as we currently know it by venturing into the final sexual frontier. This will be a grand experiment in learning how intercourse works after penetrating the Earth’s atmosphere, a lesson we’d like to broadcast and produce — with great enjoyment — in direct collaboration with those interested in being a part of the global front that will make this a reality.

All they need for this to become a thing is some of your pocket change and they're golden. Donate here on their Indiegogo.

… Is that all it costs to go to space these days? The price of a Cherry Creek mansion? Half the annual salary of a professional football player?

Anyway, they'll use the crowd-funding money pay for the seating of a camera crew and actors on a "consumer space shuttle", stain-proof suits, and of course, "state-of-the-art video equipment to broadcast the iconic moment."

Hmm … it's unclear what "consumer space shuttle" they speak of. Currently, there exists no such thing within the price range of their Indiegogo campaign, and Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic Space Flights don't really even take you into space. But shit, that's just semantics. If they can meet their goal, they might not be in actual space, but it will be the most expensive, most technologically advanced, and highest-up porn ever shot.

Let's talk donor rewards. Contributors to the campaign who give $1 will get a certificate stating they helped fund this harebrained idea. Donors at the $10 level will get early access to the video. And generous offerings of $20,000, which will allow donors to run the show by designing a scene, scripts, positions and angles.

So far, as of this writing, Pornhub has only collected about $15,364 for the campaign. If the goal is reached and everything goes well, you could see an actual real life space porn as early as late 2016. The future is now … but until that happens, we'll just have to stick with our trusty old favorite for masturbatory material: "MILF Scrubs Floors with Poolboy's Scrotum Ouch Yum." Siiigh.
