Virgin Galactic founder, Richard Branson announced in his Twitter account that Justin Bieber and his manager were booked to travel on space. "Great to hear @justinbieber and @scooterbraun are latest @virgingalactic future astronauts. Congrats, see you up there!", tweeted Branson.
"@richardbranson @scooterbraun @virgingalactic Let's shoot a music video in SPACE!! #nextLEVEL", Bieber tweeted as response to Branson.
This is not the first time Bieber discussed doing something in space. In February, he tweeted "I wanna do a concert in space." NASA replied via Twitter, "Maybe we can help you with that."
The programme to board Virgin's rocket-powered SpaceShipTwo demands $250,000 per person. In spite of expensive fee, numerous celebrity including Ashton Kutcher, Leonardo DiCarpio, Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had paid to be one of the firsts people in space when trip begun. During Canne's film festival last month, a guest at charity auction paid as much as $1.2M to sit next to DiCarpio on his scheduled trip to space.
Branson's project, SpaceShipTwo run about 18 and a half years in the making and finally completed it's first rocket test last April 29.The spaceship carries six passengers with two pilots that will fly up to 68 miles above the Earth. Passengers will experience zero gravity and a great view. If test flights will continue to do well, people who paid for the trip will make their journey to space as soon as this year.
