Kate Winslet scored a nice gift from new uncle Richard Branson: a $200,000 ticket to space on a Virgin Galactic flight.
The Titanic star married Branson's nephew Ned RocknRoll (yes, that's his legal name) earlier this week in a secret ceremony in New York. However, the ticket wasn't a wedding gift, or anything to do with RocknRoll's official job title: Head of Marketing Promotion and Astronaut Experience at Virgin Galactic.
Instead, Branson offered the ticket after Winslet saved his 90 year-old mother Eve from a fire on Branson's Necker Island retreat last year, according to British newspaper The Sun.
Virgin Galactic expects to start offering flights into space next year. Other celebs hoping to take a ride include Ashton Kutcher, Russell Brand and Stephen Hawking, who also received his ticket free from Virgin Galactic owner Branson.
The flights are expected to run two hours, and take passengers 60 miles above the Earth's surface.
