Moby, space (tourist) cadet

The musician Moby has made it clear he’s had an interest in space, whether it’s his choice of album art and song titles or visits to NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Now Moby appears ready to take that giant leap: he told MTV UK that he’s been offered a suborbital ride by Virgin Galactic, in part because he used to be signed to a Virgin-owned label. “So when he [Richard Branson] was coming up with Virgin Galactic he approached people to say, ‘Would you have any interest in going into outer space?’,” Moby said. “And I, of course, said yes.”
