A ride into space costs about $20 million today. In the next few years, entrepreneurs intend to offer rides for $200,000. But for those without a huge disposable income, two companies have offered the chance to win sub-orbital space trips.SpaceShot has announced it will host a series of online games over the next few months, in which players will compete for a Rocketplane spaceflight. The company has not yet released details of the game. "But it's not going to be a shoot-em-up video game," SpaceShot CEO Sam Dinkin told New Scientist.
