Richard Branson is giving away two Spaceplane tickets

The cost of just one trip is $250,000.

Space tourism is a fast-growing industry. Virgin Galactic has achieved considerable success in this area. The boss even recently took a flight to the edge of space. However, right now, Richard Branson is giving fans a chance to win two Spaceplane tickets.

The winner will be chosen randomly on the Omaze platform. The sweepstake is free to enter, but voluntary contributions to The Space for Humanity charitable organisation will also be available for participants. The greater the amount entrants donate to Space for Humanity, the more contest entries will be submitted. For example, by donating $10, $25, $50, or $100, entrants will be rewarded with either 100, 250, 1000 or 2000 entries, respectively.

The winner will receive two Spaceplane tickets for themselves and a friend. They will arrive at the Virgin Galactic base in New Mexico to meet with Richard Branson. The businessman will give them a personal tour and then escort them to the Spaceplane, then they will fly to the very edge of space. The giveaway will run until September the 1st.
