While trying to catch up on some stuff I've missed the past
couple of weeks (spent a lot of time "discussing some issues"
at another ng ;-) ) I ran across this article that was posted at
IMDb on November 19th:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hollywood star Sigourney Weaver plans to mimic her famous Alien character
Ellen Ripley - and take a trip into space. The 55-year-old actress has asked
British tycoon Richard Branson to book her a $207,000 seat on his Virgin
Galactic spacecraft when it's ready for take off in 2008. A Virgin insider
quips, "We'd be delighted to take Sigourney back to visit the aliens." The
company itself has confirmed "discussions are taking place" for Weaver to
ride one of the first Virgin Galactic flights to 70 miles beyond the
planet's atmosphere, where tourists will experience six minutes of
weightlessness and breathtaking views before returning to Earth. Star Trek
star William Shatner and Jane's Addiction rocker-turned-reality TV star Dave
Navarro are two of the 7,000 other people who have signed up for the outer
world experience.
