Mila Kunisisn’t sure she should’ve come down so hard onAshton Kutcherwanting to go on a civilian space flight — she was just scared!
Kutcher, 43,revealed earlier this month that he previously had a ticketto ride inone of Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic flights, which take civilians to the outer atmospheric layers of Earth. But after his Kunis, 37, said that the voyage wasn’t “a smart family decision” (the couple share daughterWyatt Isabelle, 6, and sonDimitri Portwood, 4), Kutcher sold the ticket back.
Reflecting on it now, Kunis tells PEOPLE she regrets asking him to return the ticket in a moment of panic over their family’s future.
“We get together nine years ago and he was like, ‘I have a ticket to go to space.’ I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’ I was like, ‘That’s fun, have fun,'” she says.

But her feelings changed once they welcomed daughter Wyatt Isabelle in October 2014 and son Dimitri Portwood in November 2016.
Kunis recalls then asking him to return the ticket. “Being the sweet man that he was,” Kunis says, Kutcher decided to please his wife.
“I know I hate it,” she says of the decision now. “Also I’m such [Star Trekfan]. The fact that I didn’t let him go into space was so selfish of me, but I was a new mom and I was like, ‘You can’t leave me and the babies.’ And so that’s where that decision was made out of.”
“I want everybody to know I probably would have let him to go to space now, but now it’s too late,” she adds.

Aside from space, Kunis and Kutcher also have entrepreneurial interests in common. In 2014, Kunis launched her own company, Orchard Farm Productions. She’s now venturing into the male-dominated cryptocurrency industry via a newly popularized digital platform called non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which include unique images, videos or music that fans can purchase.
Kunis’s NFTs, which can only be bought using the Ethereum cryptocurrency, are graphics that grant the owner access to the first episode ofStoner Cats, with more episodes to come.
