A graduate student in the UK, Michael Halls-Moore has come up with a novel idea to reach the space. He has set up a web site BuyMeToTheStars.com, wherein he is selling fictional "Stellar Objects" to raise fund for the journey. The catalog listed includes stars (of multiple size), nebulae or even galaxies. The smallest star will cost you 10 pound. Once you buy a stellar object, a pop-up tag will show the objects name (provided by you), your company/individual name and a description. Anyone who clicks the stellar object will be directed to a URL of your choice.
Michael is hoping to raise around 100,000 pound in order to achieve his dream. Once the fund is raised , he plan to board a flight offered by Virgin Galactic. In the site Michael introduces himself as a 24 year old graduate student studying for a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering in London, UK.
When I last checked the site it was still to rope in its first buyer. So go ahead and submit a request for purchase.
