Richard Branson has been making plenty of headlines. The eccentric billionaire has just completed his first spaceflight aboard Virgin Galactic's spaceship. Now, according to the latest report, billionaire Elon Musk has booked a ticket on Virgin Galactic's commercial space flight.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Richard Branson confirmed that the founder and CEO of SpaceX indeed made a booking for the future space flight. He further added, "Elon’s a friend and maybe I’ll travel on one of his ships one day".

As of this writing, there's no word on when Elon Musk is going to board the Virgin Galactic spaceship. According to the WSJ, a seat in this trip to the edge of the space that offers up to four minutes in zero-G costs $250,000 each, while the reservation costs $10,000.
