Business Idea of the Day

Jean-Jacques Velkeniers lives in Belgium and since he was a little boy he wanted to go into space. Now that Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic is selling seats on their spaceship for rides into space for only $200,000, Jean-Jacques can finally go.

There’s only one problem: he doesn’t have $200 grand. But proving that the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Belgium, Jean-Jacques has figured out a way to get other people to fund his ride. For a donation of $2 on his site SendMe2Space.com he’s offering a lucky person a one in 200,000 chance to go into space with him. If 200,000 people enter his contest, he’ll have enough money to buy a ticket for himself and for the winner!

I’m not sure if it’s legal or anything, but it’s a neat idea!
