“Star Trek” star William Shatner and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro are among thousands who want to fly on Virgin’s proposed commercial space flights, company chief Richard Branson said Friday.
Branson said more than 7,000 people have registered their willingness to pay the $210,000 fare for the service, which promises to send passengers 68 miles ( 110 kilometers) above the Earth.
And if I had the money I’d be signing up with all of them. Hell yeah I wanna go. The wife doesn’t, I told her I’ll take pictures for her.

Have fun honey. I’ll be waiting for you - both feet planted firmly on the ground - when you get back.
