Along with your actual, possibly real, space flight, you get:
* Five-night stay @ Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort during training &
preparation (before the flight)
* $5,000 TripCash to first 25 buyers ( ) (this is good on TripAlertz, btw..
.) (I think)
* Medical evaluation and screening
* Cancellation insurance policy (whew)
* Personalized high definition DVD recorded by onboard cameras along with
stellar mementos (I really want a stellar memento)
* Admiration from all earth's creatures. (not guaranteed)
* Participants who are not citizens of the United States of America are
required to obtain a current valid passport and/or US entry visa prior to
the Qualification Program (ie: aliens cannot become aliens)
* Read more about the space program here: Link:

Pertinent details from the above link:
This definitely looks like it might be a real operation. And once in space,
fear not, for they have "learned much about how to operate the Lynx, even
though it has higher performance than our EZ-Rocket and X-Racer", such as
how to:
1) develop a safe, reliable, and reusable propulsion system and integrate it
into an airframe" (this is good for getting off the ground, and maybe
landing)
2) implement low cost, efficient, and safe operational procedures," (to make
money) and
3) work with the regulatory process" (like, you know, so that things aren't
all over the place and haphazzaarded like) (which might be bad)
The Lynx even "uses its own fully reusable rocket propulsion system to
depart a runway and return safely" thus hopefully ensuring your safe
departure and potential return. If you navigate carefully and sharply pick
up on the diagram of the flight, you might also notice that this wonderful
magnificent experience will last a lengthy 30 minutes.
Final minor little details:
* $20,000 deposit required (so they can afford to actually get this show off
the ground)
* Assignment of a flight slot number shall not occur until full fee is paid
(note that there are no details about WHEN this fantastic journey may
actually take place)
* Requested flight dates are not guaranteed and subject to change (they'll
refund the deposit if things don't work out. Really)
* XCOR and TripAlertz reserve the right to refuse any Participant applicant
for any reason or no reason at any time ("we just don't like you")
Act now, as this limited offer is only available for 100 days.
If any of you out there can actually afford this, Good luck and happy
spacefaring!
