Win a trip to Space with Guinness and Virgin Galactic

WIN A TRIP INTO SPACE WITH GUINNESS®

Guinness are giving one lucky winner the chance to be among the early non-professional astronauts to venture into space aboard Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, the world’s first spaceline. You and a friend will undergo intensive astronaut training at Spaceport America, Virgin Galactic’s home and launch site in New Mexico. This will include medical checks, team bonding, and astronaut training that prepares you for the hefty g-forces encountered under rocket propulsion. Then, the countdown begins... The flight itself will be like nothing you’ve ever experienced. You’ll reach speeds of over 2,500 mph. You’ll experience zero gravity, floating weightless around the cabin almost 70 miles above the Earth’s surface. And you’ll witness the view to end all views, stretching thousands of miles in all directions as you look down on our planet or gaze out into the black stuff.

Note; You need to be at least 18 years old to visit the Guinness website!

Just ignore that!

When you land on the Guinness homepage, just say your country is Canada or USA and you will be fine. Then when completing the competition form, put your normal mailing address in France. That will work ok! This competition is world-wide, its open to everyone! There is plenty of Guinness sold in bars and restaurants in France.

Thats an impressive video, captures the imagination. Without any doubt, the key to our future in space Lay's in our ability to build very large heavy machines and vehicles here on the ground and move them into orbit without burning millions of tonnes of rocket fuel.

That video could well be the answer to many unexplained UFO sitings around the US and other parts of the world.

The winner probibly has to pay for an airline ticket to get to the site but, is the ticket for the space flight and training free?

The winner probably has to pay for an airline ticket to get to the site but, is the ticket for the space flight and training free?

reimk,
Guinness are a very wealthy multinational company. I'm pretty sure they will pay for everything, flights, accommodation, the virgin galactic ticket($200,000 USD), the whole lot. They want publicity, and they want it big time, and they are more than willing to pay for it. You can be sure everything will be payed for , with pocket money, and a team of media following you on every step of your journey.
