Victoria Principal to Space!

The actress from the TV show "Dallas," Victoria Principal, is going to be one of the first celebrities to make it into outer space. The star paid $200,000 to be one of the passengers on the Enterprise, a two-pilot space craft with room for only six people. She is one of the daring people who wants the once in a lifetime experience of seeing the Earth's shape, going to the edge of space, and feeling weightless. Although she paid for a ticket to be on this shuttle, by the Virgin Galactic company, the first passengers will be chosen at random.

The first commercial space shuttle was introduced Monday by Sir Richard Branson and Burt Rutan, both innovators in the world of space. Principal says this has always been her fantasy and she will get to fulfill it sometime in 2011, after the company begins testing in early 2010. Just like this first article, CNN will be sure to cover the next events as they unfold.
