The comedian did not want to participate in one of the first tourist flights to space because he compared the number of trips that were completed successfully with those that ended in disaster.
A few days ago Ashton Kutcher revealed that he had given up his ticket on one of Virgin Galactic's next suborbital flights because his wife Mila Kunis made him see that it was too risky an adventure for a family man like him, with two small children. Now it was Kevin Hart who reported that he rejected the peculiar invitation.
In the case of comedian Kevin Hart, it didn't take anyone to convince him that it was better to pass up that opportunity when he was offered a seat on a space voyage.
"I have something to tell you, and it's no joke. You would never guess what they proposed to me. This is going to blow your mind. They offered me a seat on a space shuttle, because they wanted to document a celebrity's experience. Not only did I turn it down "But I said, 'Guys, I think you were wrong,'" he said now on his show 'Straight From The Hart' on SiriusXM.
Although the famous comedian and actor did not want to reveal which company contacted him, he did explain that one of the conditions to get a place on the ship was that he complete a learning and training program of between 30 and 45 days of duration with a team of specialists.
The reward for that sacrifice would be to enjoy a trip that would last 60 to 90 minutes and, in his humble opinion, it was not worth it.
"This is what I told them. I told them I would like to know the number of space shuttles that made it safely and those that didn't. What is the track record of successes versus failures? And that's my reason. That number is too close. Yes, it's too tight a margin," he said.
What he does not rule out is daring to do it one day, when his children are older - Kevin has Heaven, 16, and Hendrix, 13, with his ex Torrei Hart, and Kenzo, three, and Kaori, nine. months, with his wife Eniko Hart - and there are no longer so many people who depend directly on him.
