Interestingly Point 11 in the terms and conditions say that if for whatever reason they have to cancel the space flights you get an alternative prize.

The alternative prize is 1,000,000 velocity points.

I wonder if that shouldn't perhaps read upgrade to "guinea pig" class.

I wonder if they'll give WPs a shadow?

I'd prefer the 1000000 points!

pass. the whole concept freaks me out a bit. The film Gravity didnt help. Great film!

1,000,000 points would be a fair chunk of premium cabin flights. But I think the opportunity to go to space (even if it's for such a short time) might be once in a lifetime for me.

Isn't the alternative prize missing a 0 or two?

Gotta put some thought in to an entry for this - would love to see the edge of space!
