Principal of Space Travel

Victoria Principal is set to be the first female tourist in space.
The actress and former start of Dallas has apparently paid out $200,000 to British businessman Sir Richard Branson, in order to be on his first commercial space flight in 2008.
Tom Hanks also said to be interested.

An unnamed source stated that William Shatner withdrew his request for a ticket upon learning that he would not be in command.

Actually, I hope this catches on. A new frontier may be just the thing our species needs to distract it from idiocy.
