Win a trip to space!

[StarVoyager]

I haven’t seen this posted, so having received an email about it yesterday I thought I would alert all the IIS-ers that Lynx (the personal hygiene brand) is running a competition to win a trip to space.

See here for details: http://www.lynxapollo.com.au/ Apparently 22 people globally will win a trip, with 4 Australians chosen to enter the “Lynx Space Academy” – where the final launch candidates will be selected after testing.

I’m personally not sure about the craft (the XCOR Lynx) – having not been tested on an actual flight and I am therefore somewhat sceptical about the launch date - sometime in 2014, still I think the possibility of the trip to space is exciting - no matter how remote!

You could always avoid the rush and buy a ticket for $100,000 US

Not for me, I will wait until I can buy a ticket from Flight Center on a well proven vehicle
