This is the proof that the year 2008 was exactly what sci-fi writers predicted: flying cars, alternative fuels, Barack Obama and now trips to space for the humble mortal.

Register with Symantec for a chance to win a sub-orbital spaceflight or a zero gravity experience. That’s right! If you are not convinced yet, take a look at the second prize here.

In an unprecedented sensory experience, rocket engines boost you beyond the normal limits of flight to regions above 100 km – where space begins. After the engines shutdown, you will experience up to five minutes of continuous weightlesness, all the while gazing at the vast blackness of space and the blue horizon of the Earth Below.

Wow! Register here.
