Jack Osbourne wants to fly to the moon.

The reality TV star is in talks with NASA to join their next mission to the moon in 2018. Jack, 19, is desperate to sign up for inter-galactic trip and wants to use the proposed space odyssey to promote the Macmillan Cancer Relief and his mother Sharon's charity the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program.

He said: "Going to the moon would be amazing. The training's hardcore but I could handle it". Jack is not the only celebrity currently in talks with NASA to join their lunar expedition. Tom Hanks is reportedly begging the space agency to let him take part in the mission and fulfill his dream of walking on the moon. The 'Apollo 13' star - who recently wrote and produced new movie 'Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon' - has always been a supporter of NASA and space travel.

He is said to be hoping the agency will repay him by letting him join the crew on the moon mission. However, according to reports, NASA sources say Hanks' age and height will count against him. The Oscar-winning star will be 62-years-old when the shuttle launches - and at 6 feet 1 inches tall, the actor is too tall to be an astronaut.

You Said

Didn't we already deal with this when Lance Bass tried to go up in one of the shuttles? It's not as easy as people think ...
