I'm more suprised that such a thing is in commercial corporate reach. But I'd hve to agree, that's DAMN good marketing.

Promotion Parties do not provide any kind of guarantees or warranties that any spacecraft will be built nor that any space flights of any spacecraft will take place in the future.


They always leave a loophole for themselves.

Actually,

IN THE EVENT THAT THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER DIES, BECOMES DISABLED, IS UNABLE OR BECOMES UNABLE TO SATISFY ONE OR MORE OF THE FLIGHT REQUIREMENTS, OR CANNOT OTHERWISE FULLY ENJOY THE GRAND PRIZE DUE TO HEALTH, ILLNESS, MEDICAL LIMITATION OR ANY OTHER REASONS, OR NO LONGER WISHES TO ACCEPT AND TAKE THE GRAND PRIZE SPACE FLIGHT, SPONSOR SHALL HAVE THE OPTION, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, OF BEING RELIEVED OF LIABILITY FOR FULFILLMENT OF THE GRAND PRIZE


they might have to resort to killing people.

Have you people not heard of the Ansari X-Prize? The companies that are sending up commercialized space flights have already booked a hell of a lot of moneys worth of flights. The spaceships will go up simply because they'd rather have a spaceship made of glue than refund millions of dollars.
