Actor Ashton Kutcher is going to be the first ever Hollywood star to go into space – and it won’t be for a film role!
Yesterday, Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group announced that Ashton Kutcher was the five hundredth person to sign-up for the Virgin Galactic flight and says, “It’s great to have him on board.”
Branson wrote on his blog, “Our 500th future astronaut customer has just signed up! Even better news is that number 500 is Ashton Kutcher. I gave Ashton a quick call to congratulate and welcome him. He is as thrilled as we are at the prospect of being among the first to cross the final frontier (and back!) with us and to experience the magic of space for himself.”
How awesome is that?
