She's going into space because 'she was a fan of the StarWars' and lack of facilities may shock her ?

That's a strange article

Get the name right guys -- its Paris Hilton, not Paris Hinton.  And she may be an idiot, but she's our idiot and a damn good looking one at that.  She is the last one to go out the air lock.

Hilton, good looking?

Meh.  Paris Hilton can be the first slutty celebrity to fly into space...but the world will still know her more for that little night vision escapade in that hotel room. ;)

Eh, she's okay looking.  But I've seen better looking women who also have some intelligence and some class to go along with their looks!  But hey, let's be honest...who among us wouldn't want to inherit a fortune and never have to work a day in our lives!   ;)

So, is this really what the dream of routine access to space has become?  Following in the footsteps of Yuri Gagarin, Alan Shepard, Neil Armstrong, etc....Paris Hilton: Astronaut!   ;)

How can you tell if she is good looking beyond all that make up, but I guess when launching by the pound she would save ya money

 

btw: is that goofy excuse for a dog going too?

Never heard of her, but she certainly looks talented.  She can stay on board too.

I got it! Branson is secretly developing a new RCS thruster using the vast deposits of Helium in Paris Hiltons head. The constantly self replenishing supply will make the venture far cheaper and easier to operate. All the pilot has to do is ask a simple math question and helium is deposited through her port and starboard vent holes. All you have to do is pipe that up to the actual rocket and bada bing :) free RCS

How can I find out how to post a photo on a thread?  I know it can be done, I just can't seem to make it work.

She's nice, but Jenna Elfman gets my vote.
