Brewers Guinness have announced plans to send one of its stout drinkers into space as part of its 250th anniversary celebrations.The lucky drinker will travel to space with Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic becoming one of the world's first non-professional astronauts.
But first they will have to undergo training at Spaceport America, before flying to 68 miles above the Earth, where they will experience the feeling of weightlessness.
The space flight is one of three "once-in-a-lifetime" experiences, the others are going to the depths of the ocean, and a personal performance from The Black Eyed Peas.
Personally I would rather they combined those last two and just sent The Black Eyed Peas to the bottom of the ocean.
A Guinness spokeswoman said: "Since 1759, Arthur Guinness and the Guinness brand have been behind some remarkable and hugely momentous achievements.
"To continue this legacy and as part of the 250 celebrations, Guinness is giving something back to supporters around the world."
