Ashton Kutcher...in space?Ashton Kutcher has reportedly signed on to make an out-of-this-world trek. According to a blog post by Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson, the “Two and a Half Men” star is his 500th customer to sign up for space travel aboard his vessel. Branson wrote Monday that he “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."
According to MSNBC.com, Kutcher will likely have to cough up about $200,000 to take the ride aboard Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo rocket plane. No launch date has been set yet, but the the vessel - also dubbed the VSS Enterprise - will reportedly be ready for test flights later this year. "Ashton is joining a fast expanding group of true pioneers who are on their way to a life-changing experience and a place in the history books," Branson continued. "It's great to have him on board." MSNBC also reports that a handful of other A-list stars are said to be considering taking the trip as well, including Katy Perry, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Why doesn'e he use that money for a good cause to help poor people instead of going for a free ride? what a self centered jerk
This seems like a bad episode from "Pigs in Space".
Is this a one-way type of thing? If so, go for it!
WOW Freaking awesome!!!! I guess when these celebs go on national TV to ask us regular folks to donate to the less unfortunate and abused animals we should remind them that since 500 of them can spend $200,000 each (thats $100,000,000.00) then they can also spend that to help the world's poor...even help those who were displaced from their homes due to the economic downturn in these here United States of America...good job y'all!!!!
That's funny- I thought we stopped sending monkeys into space...
Let me see if I understand this. You have a story about Ashton Kutcher taking up space. How is this news?
So he's going to travel to
that region between his ears.
Great, it'll be like Galactica where only genetically pure and rich people will get to go to space while the rest of us peasants cut the crops and wallow in horse poo
Okay everybody! Come on, keep the insults and trolling to just nasty. No death wishes please! And Sir Branson needs to rename his plane! The Enterprise is reserved for use for a significant, humankind changing mission-not just a vomit comet jaunt!
Branson is a liberal stooge.
Oh, that's OK, son. Not everyone can be as perfect as me! As for that butt... I HERE (lol) Richard will kiss it and make it better!
Sorry. my bad shouldn't have been so mean. just my butt is bleeding n i'm in a p!ssy mood.
Please let it be soon and let him stay there!
Don't you have a hole to go crawl into and die already? Do you "hear" me on that? You're so perfect that you don't make mistakes that's why you are "here" causing trouble.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what is known as b u t t h u r t... Can you say that? B-u-t-t h-u-r-t... Let me HEAR it loud and clear! LOL!
B U T T H U R T ! Can you 'hear' me on 'here' yelling B U T T H U R T !
Another privilege that the rich get to enjoy. Sometime in the future humans will conquer death, but only the rich will be able to afford it.
And you need to shut it 2 cuz u're not winning any points urself today son
That's not how you talk to people on HEAR (lol) son! Be more respectful!
@CN Red why don't you put a gun to your head and pull the trigger fa ggit. Did i get my spelling right this time a55hole f ag?
I think you made my dad observer mad @ cn red.
So not me, dude. Sorry, someone is using my name. Totally lame.
So not me, dude. Sorry, someone is using my name. Totally lame.
Whoa! U mad, brah? LOL!
Maybe he just wants to find some older black holes
(Im talking about Demi Skelator Moore)
Now that was funny.
...and stay there!
Why don't all you losers above jump on that plane as well.
HERE is a thought: Why don't you learn to spell properly, loser?
I understand that Rosie O'Donnel is now looking for a gig, maybe she should be included. Might play havoc with payload limitations though.
Send Old-Man Clooney while they are at it! Martyr the old-timer. He would just LOVE that.
(I'd just love him dead.)
So a s s ton kutcher is going to space? Please stay there!! And someone please deprive him of all forms of communication with Earth.
Kutcher is a stanky hippy if I've ever seen one. He needs to pull a Challenger. Go with throttle up!
If you are going to coopt my name, at least post something funny or relevant to the story.
Here's hoping that rocket has faulty o-rings [crosses fingers]
Here's a thought. The plane is loaded with celebrities. The plane takes off without a hitch. They hit their maximum cruising speed & are in space. There is a massive power failure, and they are adrift in space. A new "Lost in Space" reality show!
Once he's in space, can we leave him there? Maybe take the Kardashians with him?
Hear, hear! I second that, Snorlax!
@Snorlax I triple that lol.
My daddy observer is a funni guy. I am proud to be his son. He's proud of me too bc I can lick my balls. Now that I know he's my daddy, I will not let him lick them.sick I would like to fly to space, I could lick space balls! 🙂
come up with some new material jerk
Observer..you are right on!! I can't stop laughing at your comment.
Really? Wow. Sad. Way to encourage this putz.
the observer comment is so funny
Now that's one plane that needs to go down!
after you add a lohan, 4 kardashians, and a orange pregnant troll to the manifest.
He is such a looser.............scrubby looking dirtbag..........gag!!!
