FTFA:
Guinness has announced three once-in-a-lifetime experiences, as part of its celebration.
The brewery is sending someone into space, another to the depths of the ocean and a personal performance from The Black Eyed Peas.
If you win the three prices, you get to send the Black Eyed Peas to the bottom of the ocean, then shut them off into space.
/Wants to win them all.

During the personal performance do I get to see Fergie pee herself on stage?

Yeah, the best thing about winning the Black Eyed Peas show is the possibility you could sell it...
As far as the space trip goes, "the winner will take a flight through the Earth's atmosphere at almost 2500mph - three times the speed of sound" ... any idea how HIGH it goes? Critical information missing. I'm sure it'll be awesome though :)

Seriously, I had no problem with the Guinness towel.
I received it within 2 weeks, and I was a real Johnny come lately at the time.
It must have been some really random stuff.

It just goes to the edge of space, about 100km up and still well below Low Earth Orbit. I'll bet the view is still fantastic though.

Wish I was 21..
Anyway, it's like they threw the BEP thing in there to deterr people from entering.
If I won that prize, out of the three, I'd be very depressed.

Thanks XMark, I just found a similar figure (109km). Yeah, that's pretty incredible :)
Hard to imagine that's not much more than 3x the altitude of the space station @ probably 1/7 the speed! yet still... absolutely incredible

Thank you. Somehow I think the headline is not actually referring to the Guinness towel... or if it is, it's relating both.

That was my first thought, too. If that was my "prize" I probably wouldn't bother turning up.

Well I suppose you could Google "Guinness", and go from there.
I did.
It left me with few, if any, permanent scars, and a pretty good part of the weekend left over.

I can't remember ever entering a contest (at all?) about which I was really excited about that infinitesimal chance of winning. When I win, I'll make sure and submit a "Farker wins Guinness Space Prize - DIT" headline.

Same here. But I may be willing to part with it for the space trip. Maybe.

I have my towel as well. It used to ride around in the tank bag of my motorcycle, but it currently resides in my underwear drawer and hides my .45 from prying eyes.

I think they are doing it as a reminder that after the winners, even the next place is still a loser.
