SpaceX announces Inspiration4—Win a Ticket to Space!

The information we are about to share with you is frankly, out of this world.

SpaceX, the company owned by (eccentric) billionaire Elon Musk, is offering normal, regular people the opportunity to go to real space in a rocketship. And no, this isn't an early April Fools joke.

The first-ever all-civilian trip, Inspiration4, will take four passengers into orbit.

There are four seats available. The first one is taken by entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, founder and CEO of Shift4 Payment, who will be in command. He personifies Leadership. The seat representing Hope also appears to be taken.

The two remaining seats are for individuals Prosperity and Generosity.

The competition for the Generosity seat is to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and to win the Prosperity seat, you'll need to set up a Shift4Shop profile and post an inspirational business story on Twitter.

This competition is open to US citizens, and there's more information on the inspiration4 website.
