Ashton Kutcher is not going to space (yet) after Mila Kunis convinced him to sell his ticket
For the time being, Ashton Kutcher is sticking on the ground after his wife, Mila Kunis, persuaded him to sell his space ticket.
The actor, who is best known for his appearances on "That '70s Show" and "Two and a Half Men," has a ticket for a space journey with Virgin Galactic, which just completed a successful test flight with their space aircraft, VSS Unity. Before journeys for paying consumers begin, the firm has only one more test flight.
One of the first excursions was planned for Kutcher, but Kunis persuaded him that it was "not a wise family decision."
In a recent interview with the website Cheddar News, he said, "I was meant to be on the following flight, but I will not be on the next aircraft."

When he purchased a ticket in 2012, the actor became Virgin Galactic's 500th paying customer. But a lot has happened in the last nine years: Kutcher married Kunis, his "That '70s Show" co-star, and they had two children, Wyatt, 6, and Dimitri, 4.
"My wife basically convinced me that going into space with small children was not a good family option," he stated. "As a result, I had to sell my ticket back to Virgin Galactic."
The firm has sold over 600 tickets so far, with prices ranging from $200,000 to $250,000, with sales set to reopen at a higher price soon. The space flight's parent business is owned by billionaire Richard Branson. Last week, with his crew, on the fourth-ever test flight of a spacecraft approaching the edge of space, who owns the space flight's parent business, the Virgin Group, made it to space.
While Kutcher won't be flying on one of Virgin Galactic's first commercial flights, he hasn't given up hope of one day leaving Earth.
"I'm going to space at some time," he told Cheddar.
