Home and Away star Gyton Grantley (aka James Dalton) aims to take a seat on Virgin Galactic when it launches in 2008. The project, headed by Richard Branson, transports travellers 100km above the earth and allows them to experience weightlessness.
However, that's not all. In a bizarre plan of action, he wants you to pay for his flight! He's set up a website, Send Gy To Space, with which he aims to raise the money to pay for the $200,000 ticket.
Not all the money goes directly to him though. The website claims that 10% of the ticket cost, and any excess money donated, will be given to the Starlight Foundation, which helps to bring joy to sick children.
"I belong there, in the stratosphere. Circling the earth in zero gravity and being at one with the cosmos" says Grantley, who claims to have dreamed of being an astronaut since he was a little boy.
