Well, it's about fucking time!
Feb. 12th, 2005 12:37 pmI don't know why nobody's done this before now. You'd think the Russians would realize they could make hundreds of millions of dollars by selling raffle tickets to a space launch. Of course, if they require you to buy them, it would be considered gambling and thus illegal in the US. But, apparently, collecting addresses for SPAM is profitable enough in the US, that Volvo has started a new contest. First (and only) prize: A free trip into space aboard one of the new Virgin Galactic craft created by Scaled Composites.
Normally, I don't do internet contests, not being a lover of junkmail and spam, but, hey, it's space!

And, I gotta say, that new Volvo XC90 looks like a great car, and I would seriously considering purchasing one. (Yes, I'll kiss any ass on this planet if it helps get me off of it, even for a few minutes :)
Hopefully, if I don't win, whoever does win is an experienced writer who keeps a blog, so we can all read about it, at least. I'm still annoyed at Dennis Tito for not keeping an ongoing journal during his training and trip to orbit.
