Actor to be 500th space tourist


replica louis vuitton bags sale Sir Richard Branson has said his venture to launch paying tourists into space has netted its 500th customer - US actor Ashton Kutcher.The billionaire made the announcement on his blog, saying he gave the actor a quick call to congratulate him."He is as thrilled as we are at the prospect of being among the first to cross the final frontier (and back!) with us and to experience the magic of space for himself," Sir Richard wrote.Kutcher is among dozens of Hollywood names, international entrepreneurs, scientists, space buffs and others who have made deposits to be among the first to reach the edge of the Earth on the Virgin Galactic spaceline.Sir Richard has said the aim is to one day make travelling to space safe and affordable for the masses, not just those who can afford the current 200,000 US dollar (£126,000) ticket price.

The company plans to begin commercial operations next year and Sir Richard said he and his children plan to be on the first commercial flight.Virgin Galactic customers will ride in a six-seat spacecraft that looks like a small plane, with wings near the rear that sweep upward. Once the craft and its mother ship reach a certain altitude, the smaller craft is released and its rockets are fired, pushing passengers back into their seats for the trip to suborbital space.Customers will get a 150-minute flight with about five minutes of weightlessness and views of Earth that until now only astronauts have been able to experience."I still sometimes have to pinch myself that it's for real," Sir Richard said of the venture. "Ashton is joining a fast expanding group of true pioneers who are on their way to a life changing experience and a place in the history books."


replica louis vuitton watches sale The Baleses were "happy" and "normal," according to neighbor Cassie Holland."We would go over there for birthday parties and they would come to my kids' birthday parties," she said. "I would describe (Bales) as super fun to hang around with, kind of the life of the party kind of guy. Super loving, great with his kids. I don't see how this has happened."Before buying the home, the family owned a townhouse in a modest, middle-class neighborhood in Auburn, Washington, about 30 minutes from the military base.Tim Burgess, whose townhouse shared a wall with the Baleses, said Bales was "a really good guy (who) just wanted to serve.""I know he just wanted to go back and serve overseas, that was his goal," he said, adding the two had not spoken in about five years.After the family moved out, there were occasional renters in the townhouse, said Robert Baggett, president of the Riverpark Homeowners Association. Several years ago, the townhouse went into foreclosure. The family also did not pay their homeowners' association fees for "at least three or four years," he said."We don't know what happened," Baggett said of the Baleses and their Auburn property, which Sunday had a notice posted on its door that read "Do Not Occupy."


replica louis vuitton sneaker sale The West Villas section of Mezze, where the early-morning clashes took place, is a neighborhood of stand-alone houses across the highway from a military airport. It is home to wealthy Syrians of a mix of ethnic backgrounds and political persuasions, many of whom lead cosmopolitan lives and have a foothold abroad, in the form of business or dual citizenship. To its north is Mezze 86, a less wealthy area home to many members of President Assad’s minority Alawite sect, members of the security forces and, some residents say, the pro-government gangs known as shabiha that have been unleashed against the opposition. Activists with the Local Coordinating Committees, a coalition of Syria-based opposition groups, reported that large numbers of security vehicles and shabiha members were deployed there by midday on Monday. Mr. Assad has described his opponents as armed terrorists financed from abroad. But his willingness to engage with Mr. Annan and allow for the possibility of outside aid to civilian victims of the conflict has raised the possibility of a temporary halt to the violence.

Lavrov, met with the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Jakob Kellenberger, and both agreed that providing aid to all Syrians was an “absolute priority at the given stage,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday. The statement said Russia and the Red Cross were urging both the Syrian government and opposition forces to “immediately agree to a daily humanitarian pause” that would allow convoys to provide medical care and evacuation for the wounded. Russian officials on Monday also denied an ABC News report that one of their warships had docked in the Syrian port of Tartus with a squad of Russian antiterrorism marines; the report fed speculation that Russia was actively helping Mr. Assad by supplying military experts. A spokesman for the Defense Ministry was quoted by the Interfax news service as saying that he was perplexed by the report, which he said might have referred to the Iman, a Russian tanker that had docked in Tartus 10 days earlier. He said security guards were aboard the Iman because it supplies fuel to Russian ships participating in international antipiracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden.
