Posted November 6, 201311 yr No one ever said she was down-to-earth! In early 2015, Lady Gaga will become the first artist to sing in outer space, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal. The "Dope" performer, 27, is set to blast off in a Virgin Galactic ship and belt out a single track during the Zero G Colony tech festival in New Mexico. "She has to do a month of vocal training because of the atmosphere," says a source, who adds that the diva's glam squad will join her in the shuttle. Zero G Colony is a three-day hi-tech festival set to take place at Spaceport America in New Mexico that features world-class entertainment and cutting-edge technology. Gaga's performance in space is planned to take place on the third day at dawn, which is approximately six months after the first Virgin Galactic commercial flight. A source says the historic event will be "like nothing the world has seen before." And just in case the force isn't with the pop star, a source tells Us, "Gaga has taken out a ridiculous life insurance policy!" http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/n...1#ixzz2jsZEygtH Oh my GOD.
November 6, 201311 yr Let's see how long it takes for someone to accuse her of coping Madonna with this.

February 7, 201411 yr Lady Gaga Selling Ticket To Space On Richard Brandson’s Virgin Galactic Flight Fancy a quick whizz to infinity and beyond? http://static.entertainmentwise.com/images/52f3c92743847.jpg Lady Gaga has proven herself to be one generous star after announcing that she is auctioning off her ticket to space on one of Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic spaceship flights and giving all the money to charity. Awh! The ‘Applause’ star was recently confirmed to perform in the outer stratosphere in 2015 but had already bought a ticket on one of the sought-after flights before she knew she’d become the first musician to rock out above planet Earth. Of course, Gaga, 27, couldn’t just leave the spare ticket sitting around so the kind singer is selling it with proceeds going towards her Born This Way Foundation. “I honestly can't wait (to perform in space). I can't wait to design the performance. I'm auctioning off my second seat to raise money for the Born This Way Foundation,” Gaga told Harpers Bazaar. “I want to make a moment that is about much more than me. Performing in space is such an honour. I want to challenge myself to come up with something that will not only bring everyone together but will also have a message of love that blasts into the beyond.” She added: “I honestly can't wait. I can't wait to design the performance.” The ‘Do What U Want’ singer has already dabbled in a little high flying when she debuted the world’s ‘first flying dress’ in November. The piece of machinery, which is titled Volantis and has been designed as a figure-hugging bodice, was given a preview at a warehouse in New York where Gaga hovered a few feet forward. Can you afford to fly out to space? Then get bidding! Source.
February 10, 201411 yr Lady Gaga Wants To Spread A Message Of Love Through Outer Space http://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Lady-Gaga-Outer-Space-665x385.jpg Lady Gaga is taking a message of love into outer space in 2015. The “Applause” singer will take her shtick beyond the Earth’s atmosphere as part of the three-day music festival known as the Zero G Colony. After attending the event at Spaceport America, Lady Gaga will blast off aboard Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic. While she’s hanging around in outer space, the singer will spread a message of love to whoever and whatever is tuning into her frequency during her performance. Lady Gaga said in a recent statement: “I honestly can’t wait [to perform in space]. I can’t wait to design the performance. I’m auctioning off my second seat [on a Virgin Galactic flight] to raise money for the Born This Way Foundation. I want to make a moment that is about much more than me. Performing in space is such an honor. I want to challenge myself to come up with something that will not only bring everyone together but will also have a message of love that blasts into the beyond.” If you’d like to take your own trip into outer space, then you can snag a ticket aboard the Virgin Galactic. However, you’d better have plenty of scratch in your bank account; a seat on the flight will run you upwards of $250,000. Of course, Lady Gaga isn’t the only singer who wants to venture into the far reaches of outer space. The Inquisitr previously reported that Sarah Brightman booked passage to the International Space Station (ISS) not too long ago. According to reports, the singer received clearance at the Cosmonaut Training Center near Moscow. Brightman said that her fascination with space began at an early age: “I was very lucky and privileged to be living in that time to see that actually happen on a black-and-white TV screen and it changed many of us. I don’t think there’s been anything to date that was like that… You look at Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon,’ even if there was nothing specific about space, the fact that it was called what it was and the feeling of the music was definitely inspired. David Bowie. It goes on and on.” Barenaked Ladies singer Ed Robertson also joined the ranks of outer space musicians, though he did his work from the ground. The songwriter teamed up with astronaut Chris Hadfield for the tune “I.S.S (Is Somebody Singing)” last year, a collaboration that found Robertson in Toronto and Hadfield on the International Space Station. “It’s a natural, easy collaboration. I think science and music share a sense of wonder, and a sense of reaching and striving for something. And I think there’s an awful lot of parallels between the two that could be further explored,” Robertson explained. What do you think about Lady Gaga spreading a message of love through space?

March 9, 201411 yr Digital Spy: Sir Richard Branson has described Lady Gaga's upcoming space concert as "the most exciting thing" he's ever done. Gaga confirmed late last year that she is to perform aboard one of Branson's Virgin Galactic spaceships in 2015 as part of an intergalactic music festival. Asked by Digital Spy on the We Day red carpet at Wembley Arena this morning (March 7) if he is excited for the performance, Branson replied: "Of course. It's going to be the most exciting thing I've done in my life. I've got a feeling she'll find [an outfit]that's pretty good."
March 9, 201411 yr 'as part of an intergalactic music festival.' Might be others then! Wonder what song she'd sing to spread a message of love, hmm, maybe Dope actually or Born this Way!
September 16, 201410 yr Virgin Galactic flight is DELAYED http://style.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/style/2014/02/lady-gaga-bazaar-space.jpg Virgin Galactic has again pushed back its timeline for launching space-tourism flights from southern New Mexico's Spaceport America. Virgin owner and British billionaire Richard Branson told David Letterman last week that he hopes to board the first flight early next year. The company previously said it wanted to get the first flight launched by the end of 2014. The company for years has been pushing back its launch date as it works to overcome challenges developing its rocket motor. When New Mexico first agreed to build the quarter-billion-dollar spaceport with Virgin Galactic as an anchor tenant, officials predicted flights would start in 2011. Virgin Galactic officials say they are emphasising safety over meeting timelines. "Customers are eager to fly, but they know we'll fly them when we feel ready," Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides said Wednesday. "Obviously we want to do it as quickly as possible, but we don't want to rush it." Virgin Galactic's plan is to take tourists into space for $250,000 per person. The company says more than 700 people have signed up for the trip. On Wednesday, Virgin brought the WhiteKnightTwo "mothership" to the spaceport for test flights. The aircraft will take its rocket-powered spaceship up to 15,000 metres for it to launch into space. Whitesides called the craft's visit it to New Mexico a "critical milestone on our path to operations from Spaceport America." Most of the company's testing and operations are in the Mojave Desert. "I think you'll see a lot more of these milestones coming over the next several months," he told reporters.
October 4, 201410 yr Gaga’s space flight set for Spring 2015 Richard Branson has insisted his Virgin Galactic enterprise will be ready for its first flight next spring. In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, the founder of Virgin Atlantic rejected claims by critics that the latest delay in lift-off for his spaceship was further evidence that the business would never make it off the ground. Instead Branson told the newspaper that he would be on the first passenger flight of his new “spaceline” when it takes off next spring. Virgin Galactic was founded in 2004, with initial plans of taking paying customers into space by 2007. In 2009, the company said there would be flights within two years and earlier this year, Branson predicted he would be on the space voyage by the end of the year. Earlier this month, he reportedly acknolwdeged that his target had slipped again. However Branson told the Sunday Telegraph had now made a crucial breakthrough on rocket design, and that test flights would resume from the Mojave airbase in California. He has now predicted that the craft will make its first test flight before Christmas. “I’ve joked that this really is rocket science, and it’s proven much more difficult than we had ever expected,” he said. “The fact is, the mother ship is working great, the spaceport in New Mexico looks great, but the thing that has held us up is the rockets for the spaceship. We have faced a lot of criticism for being late, but we cannot rush these things and we are building a business that is offering return tickets. “We have to feel completely confident about sending people into space. We’re going to take them up and bring them back.” More than 700 celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Brand and Katy Perry and Stephen Hawking have so far paid deposits of £154,000 for a two and a half hour voyage to just outside the atmosphere, around 60 miles above the Earth. Nick Kaczmarek, Virgin Galactic supply chain manager, arrived at the High Tech Consortium of Southern New Mexico September meeting with a lot more than a PowerPoint presentation. He did bring the PowerPoint – and the slides were unlike anything some in the room had ever seen. They captured images of test flights with the dual-hulled White KnightTwo releasing SpaceShipTwo to soar into subortibal space. Kaczmarek said passengers on board SpaceShipTwo will experience four to six minutes weightless in space at heights of up to 320,000 feet . During descent, the spaceship’s rocket wings will “come down like a badminton birdie’s wings” when it hits Earth’satmosphere. Becoming a glider, the craft will coast home to Spaceport America. To bring the audience back to Earth, Kaczmarek concluded the show with a shot of Virgin Galactic’s dome-like Gateway to Space silhouetted against a familiarly crimson and gold New Mexico sunset. Kaczmarek told the audience there will be about four and more test flights before commercial space flight comes to Sierra County’s spaceport. Although both speaker and audience were at the HTC meeting Friday, Sept. 19, at the Hotel Encanto to discuss supply chain topics, other questions arose, including the frequency of passenger flights and the subortial intentions of Lady Gaga. Kaczmarek said as the fleet grows the frequency of flights will increase, perhaps to weekly takeoffs. He had less to say about Lady Gaga, Acknowledging he’s read that she wants to take David Bowie into space, give the first concert in space and/or get married in space, he said he knows nothing more about it. Whatever adventure she chooses, “I’m going to be supporting it,” he said.
