virgin airlines isn’t a great name for an airline, but imagine getting on a virgin galactic flight. christ alive. there’s a new inherent risk that simply doesn’t exist with earthbound flights: you might have to explain the concept of virginity to aliens, and then explain why you’re on a spaceship named after it

if they don’t have a concept of virginity, you’re now stuck explaining to the aliens why it does or doesn’t matter to you, which would just be an incredibly uncomfortable situation for everyone involved

after you spend several hours spent explaining things, the tall one bows his head. “I see,” he croaks in a murky voice, “but what is sexual reproduction?”

and if they do have a concept of virginity, what if they make fun of you for flying on the virgin spaceship

“we have heard of your kind only through your stray communications. would it be presumptuous to assume there is also a chad galactic we might speak with?”

70s movieception in that the Close Encounters of the Third Kind-ass musical tones that guide us to First Contact turn out to be in fact “Tubular Bells”, the release and popularization of which after use in The Exorcist was the foundation of the entire Virgin empire
