Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are going to outer space. In a space ship. To outer space. Hm. Apparently the couple is planning to ride along with other celebs on the space voyage planned for 2010.

Space cadets Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have convinced Richard Branson to allow them to be aboard his Virgin Galactic Spaceship which will lift off in 2010.

The couple have paid £115,000(~$200,000 USD) each to ensure they have a seat on the jet; they will be in the company of Sigourney Weaver, Moby, Robbie Williams and William Shatner among others.

A source told the Daily Star: “Angelina and Brad are fascinated by outer space.”

“The couple will begin astronaut training in two years.”

Holy shit, Captain Kirk and Ripley? Nice. I’m not so sure I would want to be riding on the maiden voyage of a ship called the Virgin Galactic Spaceship. Besides the fact that the name sounds like something from Spaceballs, the Galactic part really scares me. I mean, at best you will probably only skim the upper atmosphere, so even the term outer space is probably a stretch. You have to be wary about overachieving eccentrics with too much time on their hands. You don’t have to watch The Last Starfighter 467 times to know you don’t get into vehicles with crazy rich guys who say they just want to go around the block a couple of times. That can only lead to clinic visits and a confusing time and during your 20’s. Wait. What? Forget it.
