And it isn’t some doomed sitcom!
Former Dallas star Victoria Principal will be aboard the world’s first commercial passenger spacecraft, the VSS Enterprise.
Beyond her skin-care line, space travel has always been a fantasy of the actress.
Really?!
“Going into space fulfills many desires I have of seeing the planet, going fast, going someplace very few people have been ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ and hopefully coming back down!” said Principal.
And to vouch for that, it seems she wrote a potential TV movie 30 years ago about the first female astronaut and two of her favorite movies are 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Right Stuff.
Wowsa!
Although, she is dedicated! The ticket to ride on the two-pilot, six-passenger craft costs about $200,000!!!
The first flights will begin in 2011, but passengers will be chosen randomly which frustrates Victoria since she was the third person to buy a ticket.
“I’m a passenger in something that is pioneering,” she said. “This will become to our great-grandchildren what Wilbur and Orville Wright were to you and me.”
Blast off!
