Boldly going where men haven't gone before
It's definitely a club that plenty of gentlemen would boldly go where they haven't gone before.
A gentlemen's club featuring a zero-gravity dance club and a casino featuring "human roulette" would become a feature in a future space station if men's magazine Playboy and Virgin Galactic has its way.
Playboy has teamed with the Richard Branson's enterprise to show its vision of entertainment in outer space, with a depiction of the futuristic club to feature in the magazine's March issue, the Daily Mail reported.
Writing on science and nature website Live Science, Playboy's editorial director Jimmy Jellinek said: "As Virgin Galactic gets closer to becoming the world's first commercial space line, Playboy is eagerly pondering the creation of the ultimate intergalactic entertainment destination.
"This heaven-in-the-heavens will exceed starry-eyed travelers' wildest dreams, and guests will truly experience a party that's out of this world."
The club would feature Playboy
bunnies in jet packs serving drinks to punters in a zero-gravity nightclub, while those who want to eat at the futuristic fine dining restaurant could do so in a "spinning section" that would prevent their food, and themselves, flying everywhere.
The plan has emerged as Virgin Galactic continued to ramp up its plans to be the first passenger service to take punters to space.
Whether the $US200,000 per seat craft, named the SpaceShipTwo, is viable is still under investigation.
"The Playboy Club in space will be on a station in orbit, like a cruise ship," Playboy writers A.J. Baime and Jason Harper said in the magazine's article.
'Orbiting Earth is one idea, but it could also travel around other celestial bodies."
