Actor Dennis Quaid is starring in a new movie, but he is eyeing a much higher vantage point, according to one report. Quaid, a pilot, tells the World Entertainment News Network that “The ultimate would be to fly in space”. The $200,000 ticket price for Virgin Galactic is “almost getting to be reasonable”, he said, but wants something more than a simple suborbital hop at that price: “They should have at least two orbits with an in-flight meal and all that stuff.”

He should ask for an in-flight barf bag to go with his in-flight meal. He’ll need it!
