Highlights

    Land Rover is offering one lucky buyer a once in a lifetime chance for a free space flight with Virgin Galactic. Land Rover has had close ties with Virgin Galactic dating back to 2014. The car manufacturer has provided its vehicles to the latter for use as transport and even as the towing vehicle for Virgin Galactic's spaceship. The two brands extended their partnership in early 2021 with Virgin Galactic logging its first successful fully-manned flight into space a few months later.

    The carmaker in partnership with Virgin Galactic has launched an ‘Adventure of a Lifetime' sweepstake in the United States. While lower prizes from the sweepstakes include a drive at Land Rover's experience centre, branded merchandise and more it's the grand prize that is truly ‘out of this world'. One lucky Land Rover owner will get an all-expenses paid trip to space aboard the Virgin Galactic spacecraft though the date of the space flight has not been revealed.

    However, there is a catch. The ‘Adventure of a Lifetime' sweepstakes is only applicable to legal residents of the United States over the age of 18. People wanting to enter must either own a Land Rover and register on the sweepstakes webpage (single entry) or place an order (you earn 50 entries) or buy a Land Rover (you earn 100 entries) by June 20, 2022.

    Virgin's space flight lasts for a duration of 90 mins with the space ship briefly touching the edge of space to offer flyers a zero-G experience before re-entering the atmosphere to land. Virgin Galactic has actually commenced offering tickets for manned space flights aboard its spacecraft with the total cost of the reservation being an eye-watering $450,000 (Rs. 3.44 crore approx).

    The sweepstake winner will be announced on August 15, 2022.
