Their love is simply out of this world.
A Brooklyn couple will become the first on the planet to say "I do" in zero gravity when they tie the knot later this month.
Self-confessed sci-fi addicts Noah Fulmore, 31, and Erin Finnegan, 30, will travel to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., to exchange their vows while literally walking on air.
"We would really prefer to do it in space or on Mars but living in the time that we do, this was the closest we could get to zero gravity," Fulmore said.

Interesting enough but, how about taking the honeymoon on the shuttle or the space station?
NASA can study what effects weightlessness has on making love.
They can call it the space nookie project or the intergalactic intercourse study?
All kidding aside. I think it's cool.

Let me guess, NASA can do this for the low low price of 10.2 billion dollars.

Oooo, a trip on the Vomit Comet. I expect to see this on some wedding disaster show.

will travel to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, FlaSounds nice, but not really accurate. Those flights originate from TICO, the little Titusville-Cocoa airport. Just down the road from KSC/CCAFS, but definitely not on the cape. My wife has been on that micro-gravity flight while I hung around the terminal (extremely jealous, might I add.)

It wasn't about who was
on the flight - it was about who
wasn't!(me!)

Don’t give the Obamas an idea for their next date night.

One never knows.
Aboard the international space station, it'd give whole a new meaning to the term "international cooperation."
