Suryaa Entertainment Desk: Hollywood actor and venture capitalist Ashton Kutcher has returned his space travel ticket to the private space agency Virgin Galactic. In 2012, Kutcher had purchased a ticket for approximately $200,000, becoming the 500th customer for the company.
Kutcher revealed that he decided to sell the ticket back to the company following advice from his wife, actress Mila Kunis. Kunis suggested that undertaking such a trip while having young children was not a prudent decision for the family. Respecting her perspective, Kutcher chose to cancel his seat, deciding it was better to postpone space travel until his children are older.
Virgin Galactic had initially projected that commercial flights would be available by 2013 or 2014. However, the schedule faced significant delays due to technical challenges and safety protocols. Amid these developments, Kutcher’s changing family priorities necessitated a change in his travel plans.
Despite selling the ticket, Kutcher stated that his ambition to travel to space remains. He expressed optimism that he will visit space at some point in the future.
