| By Lainey DeeKay on June 8, 2013 Justin Bieber's antics may be out of this world, but it looks like has become the latest star — along with his manager Scooter Braun — to set sights on the final frontier. The "Boyfriend" singer joins the a slew of other A-list stars, like Ashton Kutcher and allegedly Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, in dropping big bucks for suborbital spaceflight. Bieber will be signing up for a flight with Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson's venture to send tourists into space.
Just how much did he spend on the flight? Well, a ticket for a seat aboard Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo rocket plane recently shot up from $200,000 to $250,000. In other words, not even a dent in Bieber's estimated $10 million net worth. While there's no word on when Bieber will achieve liftoff, SpaceShipTwo did recently complete a flight test in California and commercial operations could begin at Spaceport America in New Mexico as early as next year. Bieber tweeted in February that he wanted to do a concert in space. That was before Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield serenaded the planet in May from the International Space Station with the David Bowie classic Space Oddity. What do you think about this?
