Ashton Kutcher is leaving earth. But not for good.
The 34-year-old Two and a Half Men actor has paid the hefty $200,000 ticket price to become the 500th person to sign up for Virgin Galactic’s flight to space.
Virgin founder Richard Branson wrote on his blog: “I gave Ashton a quick call to congratulate and welcome him.” Branson continued, “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.”
