Richard Branson, he of the Virgin empire, announced that "Two and a Half 
Men" star Kutcher was the 500th customer of his Virgin Galactic space 
commercial line — dropping $200,000 to climb on board the craft that lets 
mere mortals cruise above the planet.

"Our 500th future astronaut customer has just signed up! Even better news is 
that number 500 is Ashton Kutcher. I gave Ashton a quick call to 
congratulate and welcome him," Branson said on his blog.

Thanks.
