dymed Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 They are advertising it as it's the "first free trip to space", as in it's the first time a contest is offering this as the grand prize. However, I know for a fact tht Volvo had a contest where you could win a trip into space a few months ago. Anyway, still an awesome prize. I doubt anyone will win though. I'm sure there's some sort of a "catch" or something. Just watch. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exarch Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 That is a truly awesome prize. I'd rather just get money though, and wait until payed flights into space become common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my_pet_worm Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 it wont be a space ship, it will be that plane they can fly into space(created by virgin which is owned by that 2nd richest guy in the world). it doesnt actually cost that much, so the prize isnt soooo exciting. still would like to win though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like a nessecarily fun ship to fly in, and I think it goes up to 62-65 miles. This is what you fly in, SpaceShip One. It's carried by a mother ship to like 60,000 ft. and then it's launched from there. Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Not even going into space would get me to drink 7-up. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaephyr Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 A long time ago, they had this shaving cream called "Burma-Shave" that, as part of an ad campaign, put up catchy slogan on highway billboards. Such as: "Don't take a curve at sixty per, We'd hate to lose a customer! (Burma-Shave)" So, they had one that got them into trouble. It was something like: "Collect ten-thousand half-pound jars And we'll send you on a trip to Mars! (Burma-Shave)" So one guy actually collected the jars and demanded to collect the prize. The company freaked out, but ended up sending him on a trip ot Moers, Germany (pronounced like Mars). So they offered space, but couldn't deliver. ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The employee who won thought she was winning a new Toyota, and was brought out to the parking lot blindfolded. When the blindfold was removed, there it was, in a box. A new Toy Yoda. I'm pretty sure she filed suit. Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmercga25 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 what probably will happen is that the person who wins the thing will do something to void the trip, and then no one will win, it always happens. like he made a minor offense in the last like 5yrs, and they will be like, oh you cant do this because of that :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
