Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic Launches Space Flight Sweepstakes

Virgin Galactic owner Sir Richard Branson successfully rocketed into space on Sunday aboard his own rocket ship.

The British billionaire never stops promoting. His latest is a sweepstakes drawing for charity: Two seats on a future flight to the edge of space.

Hopeful astronauts can enter for free, but you can purchase more entries as a donation starting at $5, which will get you 50 entries.
