The 19-year-old pop megastar is the latest big name to buy an ultra-expensive seat on Virgin Galactic’s planned commercial space missions.

Bieber didn’t respond to the news on his on Twitter page, but he did retweet Sir Richard confirming the news.
When the flight takes place, Justin and Scooter will jet up to 62 miles of altitude – the internationally accepted boundary of outer space – where they will see the curve of earth and experience a few minutes of weightlessness.
