E:?? Win A Trip To Outer Space!!!

Click Here


Yes really, I'm not joking :eek:

Read the rules very carefully as this game may take a while to complete :)


Play Galaxy 32 (the "Game") and you may be the one to win a seat on the Virgin Galactic (the 'Prize') - given to the winner. The Prize is assignable and transferable, that means you can elect a friend or family to accept the Prize on your behalf. The Game shall run until the first person has found all 10 Planets having submitted valid contact details on each Planets (the "Game Period"). NO PURCHASE OR ONLINE ACCESS FEE NECESSARY TO PLAY! Just follow the Official Rules below for all the details. Some Internet service providers are free. Void where prohibited. The Official Rules may be modified between Game Periods to take into account changes in the game


The Prize includes;
  • Limousine Collection from place of residence
  • 1st Class (return) Flights to Virgin Galactic Space Center
  • Hotel Accommodation and Expenses
  • £5,000 Spending Money
  • Full Astronaut training with Virgin Galactic
  • Flight into Outer Space on board the Virgin Galactic
In the event that the winner is unable to accept the prize due to ineligibility under Virgin Galactic's rules or that Virgin Galactic is unable to provide their Galactic service, the winner will be awarded the cash value of the prize, estimated at $250,000, in one single payment.

ok now for the rules....


The bottom half of our Home page contains a black and grey chequered panel which we call the Game Board. We are selling advertising space on our Game Board, as this space is sold the chequered panel will progressively fill with Ad Banners. An Ad Banner is an ad in the form of a picture which links directly to our advertisers Home Page. As the Game Board fills with Ad Banners we will be hiding pictures of the 9 planets, and the Sun of our Solar System on 10 of our advertisers Home Pages (we call them Planet Sites). To win the game, you must find all of the pictures and be the first person to find the 10th picture, The Sun

To find the planet sites go to our Home Page and scroll down to the Game Board. By clicking on an ad banner you will open the advertisers Home Page in a new window.

If you see a Frame on top of our advertisers Home Page with our logo 'Galaxy 32' and a picture of a Planet you have found 1 of the 10 planet sites. In the frame you will be asked for your Name and E-mail address. You must supply the same name and e-mail address for each of the 10 planet sites you find.


Return to the Game Board and click another banner.
The first person to find the 10th Planet, The Sun, having found the previous 9 planet sites wins the game and flies into outer space on board the Virgin Galactic


One picture shall be hidden with each 10% of the Game Board filling with ad banners. To put this another way, when the first 10% of space is sold the first picture shall be hidden on one of our advertisers Home Page's, when the next 10% of space is sold, the second picture will be hidden, and so on until the final piece of the Game Board is sold and 100% of the Game Board is full of ads, then the 10th and final picture shall be hidden, The Sun.
  • When 10% of Space Sold - Pluto will be hidden
  • When 20% of Space Sold - Neptune will be hidden
  • When 30% of Space Sold - Uranus will be hidden
  • When 40% of Space Sold - Saturn will be hidden
  • When 50% of Space Sold - Jupiter will be hidden
  • When 60% of Space Sold - Mars will be hidden
  • When 70% of Space Sold - The Earth will be hidden
  • When 80% of Space Sold - Venus will be hidden
  • When 90% of Space Sold - Mercury will be hidden
  • When 100% of Space Sold - The Sun will be hidden
It may be wise to go through the website and read all the information


Good Luck :D

    Will they be providing in flight refreshments? Blue beer served by a Trekkie?
    I'd rather have the quarter million dollars. (Is that US dollars, or the new currency of Martian dollars created by Richard Branson

    I wonder if instead of lifejackets under the seat whether they have those huge moon suits with goldfish bowl helmets underneath?

    Also maybe they say "in case of emergency and air pressure failure can you please exit through the opening at 200 miles an hour and then float until a rescue rocket arrives in the next year or so?
