In the race to be the first billionaire in space, Richard Branson is now the odds-on favorite.
The brash Britisher, the founder of Virgin Galactic, said today he will fly into space aboard his company’s Vss Unity rocketplane on July 11, beating Amazon-founder Jeff Bezos into sub-orbital space by nine days.
Branson’s Virgin Galactic and Bezos’ Blue Origin are battling to to become the leaders in space tourism, with both hoping to offer short rides just above the discernible atmosphere for a few minutes of weightlessness.
The flights will have a serious side as well, with researchers, government experiments and space technology tests also part of the business plan.
There are no economy class tickets on these rides. It’s anticipated that a trip will cost between $250,000 and $500,000 per trip. There’s already a waiting list of people who have deposits on file with Virgin.

I recently had the opportunity to interview Michael Masucci, the CEO of Secret Shadows Productions Inc. and director of American Sunset. Masucci has worked in every facet of the filmmaking process, both behind and in front of the camera. He studied at Lee Strasberg Theater institute before turning his attention to Writing and Directing. Masucci was born and raised in upstate New York. Keep reading to learn more about Masucci's transition from stage to screen and what it was like working with the late Corey Haim on American Sunset.
What was it like making the transition from theater to the big screen?
As an actor, it was a transition at first because film is very different than theater. Film is so much more technical and you shoot out of sequence, and sometimes standing next to a piece of equipment which doesn’t belong there, or you can’t move because...
