I am gonna be a Spaceman!

Published Thursday, June 23, 2005 7:30 AM

After trying desperately (and unsuccessfully) for a few years to win BB&D's "Flip in a Fighter Jet" competitions, I think maybe it is time stop flogging that horse and become a spaceman.

A spaceman, you ask? Yes! A spaceman, I answer! Really, an actual spaceman, you ask??? Shut up and give me a chance to tell you, I answer...

Oracle is running an awesome competition where the grand prize is a suborbital space flight! Billed as "a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel 100km above the surface and look down at the brilliant curvature of the Earth. Participate in the birth of the commercial space travel industry and inspire future generations of explorers."

Now the fact (and for me: problem) that the competition is based on you having at least some form of knowledge about Oracle's product suite is inconsequential at this point, cause I am gonna be a Spaceman!

There are other prizes as well. Who cares? Enter here.

I saw this a while ago and started to enter, but when I got to the questions it was a whole other story and decided to skip it :( (Send the link to a colleague of mine who knows those stuff better)
