Armin van Buuren cancels XCOR space trip

Armin van Buuren cancelled his planned journey into space after the recent crash of Richard Branson's spacecraft. The world famous DJ would have taken a flight of about a 100 kilometers above the earth with Dutch-American space company XCOR. Doutzen Kroes and Erica Terpstra is also on the passenger list. "I don't see it happening anymore", Van Buuren says about his astronauts adventure. "Especially now that I have two little ones at home. They may well skyrocket me, but I think it would not be nice for them to have to do without a father."
