My little motorcycle friend delights in dropping bombs on me and this one is no exception. First off we know what Virgin Galactic is right? Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo, a six-passenger, two-pilot spaceship. A ride costs $250,000 and will take you to an altitude of about 68 miles plus at apogee giving you a few minutes to experience zero gravity.
Well that being as it may, if you have a quarter mill not doing anything productive, you can give it to Richard Branson to be dangled from and then dropped of a perfectly fine airplane only to be kicked in the ass by the mother of all Hydrogen peroxide rocket.
So far about 500 have sighed on to do just that! Some really notable names too. People like physicist Stephen Hawking as well as Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt. Even a bit stranger at an auction some one paid 1.2 million for the right to sit next to Leonardo DiCaprio. Plus Ashton Kutcher is number 500.
But when Justin Bieber signed up....well the life went out of me a little bit. NO NOT because is was some rich kid who wants to take an A ticket ride it was me mental case of a manager Scooter Braun, whom Bieber also bought a ticket, said that they were the latest "future astronauts." and Bieber tweeted "let's shoot a music video in SPACE!!"
Excuse me....I need to go now.... I just threw up in my mouth......
