Virgin Galactic unveils the first winner of a free trip to space
Virgin Galactic has announced the winner of Naze Giveaway. It was announced in July, the lottery saw the company gave the opportunity for everyday people to get two tickets to the edge of the room. The winner is Keisha S, a health coach from Antigua and Barbuda. He planned to give a second ticket to his daughter, who turned out, was an astrophysics student.
“I always have a lifelong love to fly and attract with space, and this is really a dream come true for me,” Keisha said. “That means the world for me. I hope to share this experience with my daughter, so together we can inspire the next generation to follow their dreams.”
While the lottery is free to enter, you can also contribute to space for humanity, a charity aimed at making spaceflight more accessible, to get more entry. Virgin demand estimates that it collects around $ 1.7 million in grants for organizational organizational astronaut programs that way.
As we recorded when the company first announced the lottery, it was a way for Virgin Galactic to drive the hype for space tourism efforts. At the same time, it is something for personal spaces. The idea of winning a ticket to space is not something that someone can dream when the government-funded institution is the only organization that flew into space.
