Dallas Austin Confirms Seat Aboard Space Shuttle

After a long career of taking risks in music, Dallas Austin is preparing to embark on an entirely new adventure. The legendary producer has announced that he will be one of the world's first intergalactic tourists.

The music mogul, who has remixed Michael Jackson tunes and crafted pop hits for Madonna, Pink, TLC and Gwen Stefani, has revealed via Twitter, that he will be a passenger aboard one of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic commercial space shuttles.

"Yes!! Just got my confirmation to travel to space in 2013 thanx to Richard Branson!!" tweeted Austin. "I'm gonna see Earth!!"

The seats aboard Branson's spaceliner carry a hefty $200,000 price tag, and thus far over 400 passengers have reportedly booked tickets.

This space mission is far from Dallas Austin's first brush with danger. The producer was busted for drug possession in the United Arab Emirates in 2006, and was only released due to the support of a U.S. senator.

Austin recently made an appearance in Chris Brown's 'Beautiful People' video, along with T-Pain, Nelly, Timbaland and many other hip-hop and R&B stars. He also appeared on 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' in 2008, where he attempted to produce a song for the show's star Kim Zolciak.

This is great, I think we should send all of them into space, it sure would solve a lot of problems here on earth.

I'm off-board with you, James. I'll be on good old terra firma. Mr. Branson has a WONDERFUL idea in letting every N.C.E. (Non-Caucasian Entity) fly into the wild blue yonder. Just think: No more drive-by's, robberies, or hatred of Caucasians. Let them fly and start praying to their Jesus, as they begin to loose control of themselves upon the onset of zero-gravity. Space is so vast, I doubt it will become stained or any darker as they begin to bail. Yup, keep sending 'em up, and we can make a new National Anthem of a Song by an extremely decent Man of Color - the late, great, Louis Armstrong: 'What A Wonderful World'.

WOW - I've never heard of this dude !! Would be interesting to find out who the other 400 people are tho.
And Angela, I agree - I think I would have to wait for a couple of these flights to take place, before jumping in there

There are enough problems just trying to find a parking space, let alone own a car in this economy. So I will not be accepting the invite for $200,000. Enjoy your trip.

I have no interest in being an intergalactic traveler. However, if I did want to be an intergalactic tourist, I would wait until after a few space flights to make sure they've gotten all the little kinks worked out... just in case.

He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at seekcougar.c om a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

Ok, here is the new song I wrote for this:

I want to be there, somewhere, higher than high,
a point of light, you can see at night,

to get away for a moment, a quantum of time,
a nano on the piano,

And when I'm there, I'll only think of you,
and remember your eyes, your smile.

A retro blast and it wont last,
say goodbye to the clear moon,

five, four, three, two, brings me
back to you, your kiss, your love.

Song by Alfred
