Cool Site of the Week: Space Love

Meet Loretta and George Whitesides. Their love story is like so many others: they meet; almost three years later Loretta asks George on a date; three years later George proposes (Loretta says "yes") and they marry in 2006. SpaceLove.org is launched this year to share their journey to a weightless honeymoon aboard Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic Spaceline (www.virgingalactic.com).

The couple are Virgin Galactic Founders, meaning they will be the first 100 passengers to fly into space and will be the first couple to honeymoon in space. The flight will take place sometime beyond 2008 and will include several minutes of weightlessness, a dip into the darkness of space and see the curvature of Earth.

Check out their site and keep up with their journey.
