Designer Philippe Starck, former soap star Victoria Principal and Superman Returns director Bryan Singer have booked their flights for tourist trips in outer space, the company selling the galactic voyages said today.

Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic space tourism programme could eventually be “available to the masses”, it was disclosed today.

More than 150 people, including former Dallas star Victoria Principal, have signed up for Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic space tourism programme, it was revealed today.

The inventors and moguls of the infant space tourism industry predict there will be deaths along the way, but that it’s worth it so regular people can one day blast into outer space.
