So…Justin Bieber is being shot up into space.
Unfortunately, he is not being shot up there for his recent behavior, (instances such as this, this, aaand let’s not forget this,) but is going up on his own volition after signing up for a suborbital flight with his manager Scooter Braun. The bombshell was announced by program founder Richard Branson on twitter this past Wednesday, saying:
“Great to hear @justinbieber & @scooterbraun are latest @virgingalactic future astronauts, congrats, see you up there!”
Bieber followed the shocking announcement with a retweet to his over 40 million followers, and Scooter Braun simply said:
“im going to space momma!”
The space program has been in development since 2004, and has attracted a slew of other interested celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher, and is up for sale for the measly price of about…
$250,000.
Chump change, really.
