Celebrities Set Their Sights on Space Tourism
In the burgeoning era of space tourism, several celebrities have expressed their desire to venture beyond Earth, inspired by the pioneering efforts of companies like Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic. While recent flights saw stars like Katy Perry and Gayle King take to the skies, many others have indicated their extraterrestrial ambitions.
Pete Davidson was slated to join Jeff Bezos on a Blue Origin flight in 2022, but had to withdraw due to a scheduling conflict. His ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian remarked on the situation, noting that it was disappointing for him. However, Davidson has not ruled out future space trips.
Justin Bieber previously expressed enthusiasm for a concert in space, having signed on with Virgin Galactic back in 2013, while his manager Scooter Braun joined him in this ambition. Though they haven’t yet launched, their space dreams remain alive.
Lance Bass, who trained with a Russian crew in 2002 for a spaceflight, faced financial hurdles that prevented his journey, but has voiced aspirations for a future trip to the International Space Station rather than opting for shorter flights.
Leonardo DiCaprio auctioned a seat to space at an amfAR event in 2014, with a seat selling for nearly $1 million. Despite not making the inaugural flight in 2018, DiCaprio remains in line for a future trip.
Others, like Ashton Kutcher, have backed out due to family commitments, but have not closed the door to future space exploration. Kate Winslet’s ties to Richard Branson may play a role in her cosmic journey, while Paris Hilton has expressed nervous excitement about her ticket to space.
James Cameron’s longstanding interest in space, dating back to the early 2000s, has yet to materialize into a flight, although he has pursued various opportunities over the years.
With their dreams on the horizon, these celebrities may soon join the ranks of space tourists, making galactic history as they embark on their cosmic adventures.
