HISTORY is being made with two historic trips to space by Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Virgin Galactic's Richard Brandon.
A space race of the 21st century only this time, civilians can buy tickets to ride to space.
Did Mila Kunis convince Ashton Kutcher to sell his Virgin Galactic space flight ticket?
Virgin Galactic started accepting paying customers to ride to space back in 2012 and is only one test flight away before paying customers can take the voyage.
Among those paying customers was actor Ashton Kutcher, who was the 500th paying customer back then.
After buying the ticket, almost a decade ago, his wife, Mila Kunis, convinced him to sell the ticket as the trip was "not a smart family decision."
"I was supposed to be on the next flight, but I will not be on the next flight," Kutcher told Cheddar News.
"My wife basically encouraged that it was not a smart family decision to be heading into space when we have young children."
"So I ended up selling my ticket back to Virgin Galactic," he continued.
Of the 600 tickets the company has sold, the average price ranges anywhere between $200,000 to $250,000.
While Kutcher won't be on the flight he paid for, he told Cheddar News, "at some point, I'm going to space."
How long has Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas been married?
After tying the knot back in 2015, Kutcher and Kunis have been married for six years.
The couple met on the set of That '70s Show, where they both worked at the time, and following the ending of the show, the two rekindled years later in 2012.
At the time they had both just gotten out of serious relationships, Kutcher had just divorced his first wife, Demi Moore, and Kunis had just split from her longtime boyfriend Macaulay Culkin.
After they reconnected following their splits, the two started dating and then got married three years later and have been together ever since.
Does Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas have children together?
When Kutcher gave up his ticket to space because it was not a "smart family decision," that was not just in reference to his wife, but their to children too.
Since getting married, the couple have had two children together, Wyatt 6, and Dimitri, 5.
In 2017, Kunis revealed to People magazine that two is her limit when it comes to children.
"I will only have two … I have heard [moving from] two to three is the hard [jump]," Kunis said.
“It’s hard when they outnumber you. Right now, we’re fine. One hand, one hand. One eye, one eye. Two people, two kids.”
