The internal blow out preventer of claim 1, wherein the internal blow out preventer has a blow out preventer configuration with the inner valve closure element in the open position and the outer valve closure element in the closed position. 12. The internal blow out preventer of claim 1, wherein in the open configuration the internal blow out preventer is configured to allow for the flowing of a fluid between a first end of the housing and a second end of the housing. 13. The internal blowout of claim 10, wherein in the mud saver configuration the internal blow out preventer is configured to prevent the flowing of a fluid between a first end of the housing and a second end of the housing. 14. The internal blow out preventer of claim 11, wherein in the blow out preventer configuration the internal blow out preventer is configured to shut off the passage of a fluid within a drill string coupled to the internal blow out preventer. 15. The internal blow out preventer of claim 1, further comprising: an inner valve seal disposed inside the outer valve closure element, wherein the inner valve seal is configured to prevent fluid from passing between the outer valve closure element and the inner valve closure element. 16. An internal blow out preventer comprising: a housing having a first end, a second end and a central bore extending between the first end and the second end along a longitudinal axis of the housing;an outer valve member movably disposed within the housing, wherein the outer valve member has a bore extending therethrough and an axis of rotation;an inner valve member movably disposed within and slidingly engaging the outer valve member, wherein the inner valve member has a bore extending therethrough and an axis of rotation coaxially aligned with the axis of rotation of the outer valve member; anda first ring disposed within the housing, wherein the first ring sealingly engages the outer valve member and is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the housing. 17. The internal blow out preventer of claim 16, wherein the inner valve member and the outer valve member are positioned such that the axis of rotation of the inner valve member and the axis of rotation of the outer valve member are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing. 18. The internal blow out preventer of claim 16, wherein the outer valve member is configured to rotate about its axis of rotation between a closed position and an open position. 19. The internal blow out preventer of claim 18, wherein the inner valve member is configured to rotate about its axis of rotation between a closed position and an open position. 20. The internal blow out preventer of claim 19, wherein when the outer valve member is in the open position and the inner valve member is in the open position, a fluid flowpath is provided between the first end and the second end of the housing. 21. The internal blow out preventer of claim 16, further comprising a second ring disposed within the housing axially displaced from the first ring, wherein the second ring sealingly engages the outer valve member and has a central bore coaxially aligned with the central bore of the housing. 22. The internal blow out preventer of claim 16, further comprising one or more seals disposed on an inner surface of the outer valve member, wherein the seals are in sealing engagement with an outer surface of the inner valve member. 23. The internal blow out preventer of claim 19, further comprising: a first valve segment, a second valve segment and an interface therebetween, wherein the interface is positioned so as to be out of contact with one or more seals during movement between the open and closed position.
