Q: How do I win space tourism prizes?
A: Each eSpaceTicket provides one attempt per contest. The contestant must have three eSpaceTickets to compete. The contestant competes against 100 other contestants, with the objective to make all three shots within 15 seconds in that contest. If contestant makes all three attempts, then he or she will advance to the next competitive skilled contest. The contest will begin with kicking a soccer ball, followed by the tennis ball throw, and finally the Frisbee toss. The winner or winners of the local based contests wins the sponsored space tourism prize. Minimum age requirement is 18 years of age.
Q: What happens if I win the Sub-Orbital Space Launch Experience?
A: You will fly to the National AeroSpace Training and Research Center (NASTAR Center) located in Southampton, PA. This is a world class facility that provides training and research support for the space tourism and aerospace industry. The NASTAR Center is an FAA Approved Facility to provide space flight participant training under Federal Air Regulation 460.51.
Q: Is airfare to the NASTAR Center included?
A: Airfare to the NASTAR Center in Southampton, PA is included from anywhere in the continental U.S.
Q: Is this legal? It’s not gambling is it?
A: A Florida attorney-general opinion on point states: “There is no stake, bet or wager, and therefore no violation of gambling statute where contestants in a golf or bowling tournament pay entry fees and have the opportunity to win valuable prizes by the exercise of skill, provided that the entry fees do not specifically make up the purses, prizes or premiums contested for.”
It is important to note the key distinction in this opinion — that the entry fees may not make up the purse or prize intended to be awarded to the winning contestants. Thus, a golf tournament in which the contestants each pay an entry fee, a portion of which creates a “prize kitty” would be illegal. However, a golf tournament in which the contestants pay an entry fee for a chance to win a new set of golf clubs that are not purchased with entry fee funds would be permissible. The eSpaceTickets entry fees do not make up the purse. The costs of the space tourism prizes are paid by the sponsors.
