Wired:

A new startup company’s $10 space posters come with a chance to win a ride on a suborbital space vehicle.

Called “I Dream of Space,” the company is selling 25,000 posters at $10 apiece, the proceeds of which should cover a $200,000 ride on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo or a $95,000 seat on XCOR Aerospace’s Lynx, plus some profit for the company’s founders.

No spaceflight company has yet made a commercial flight, and it could be years before they do, but that day is approaching.
