Billionaire Richard Branson's latest trip to space opened a new door of possibilities in the field of space travel. Branson's Virgin Galactic is all set to start its first commercial flight to space in 2022 and enthusiasts may finally get an experience of how it feels to be out there. While this unique experience may cost people a fortune, the company has also started a contest where it will be giving out two free tickets on one of its first commercial space flights.

So, if you are lucky enough, your childhood dream of becoming an astronaut may come true for at least this trip where you get to experience how it feels to watch the Earth from up in space. Every moment of this unique experience will be recorded in an HD video and lucky winners will get a window seat to get the view and even a mirror to watch yourself float in the gravitation free space.

Eligibility Criteria

The company has set up required minimum criteria and people failing to meet them won't be allowed to register for the process.

The window for entry to the contest will close on September 2, 2021, so make sure to submit your entry before the deadline. The lucky winners of this contest will be selected based on a random draw, so, if you are lucky enough, you could be the first of few common people to go to space.
