SpaceShot issued a press release this morning (not yet available on their web site) that they have entered into a promotional agreement with a new space entertainment venture, SpaceChannel.tv. Each of the first half-million people who sign up for an account with SpaceChannel.tv will receive two free entries in SpaceShot’s competition, a promotion valued at up to $3.5 million. To qualify, though, people have to sign up for SpaceChannel.tv’s “Space Champions Package”, at $50: this gives people 500 “SpaceDimes” which can apparently be redeemed for watching video content on the site. However, as of this writing, the video library there is pretty sparse, and everything there appeared to be free. SpaceChannel does promise to offer additional, original content in the future, including “the world’s first Zero Gravity Sports League” that will be seen there as a reality TV series.
