Scientists are studying sex in space and the race to Mars might make our next planet more homelike. Well, there is one little disappointment, 12/21/2012 is just around the corner and Mars is not quite ready for earthlings. Let's take another option to escape earth!
Escape Earth on Dec. 21, 2012, for as Little as $24.49
Some people see the 2012 doomsday prophecies as a sign the world will end on Dec. 21 next year.
Others see the apocalyptic predictions as nonsensical hogwash fueled by superstition and misconceptions about the Mayan calendar.
But Jack Dowd, an entrepreneur in Fairfield, Iowa, sees the fears of Armageddon as an opportunity to make some cash.
Dowd, 27, a former writer's assistant on the sci-fi series "The Dead Zone," is capitalizing on doomsday hype by offering escape packages to people who would like to leave Earth should the apocalypse strike four days before the 2012 Christmas shopping season ends.
Iowa entrepreneur Jack Dowd is capitalizing on 2012 Armageddon fears by offering travel packages for $44.99 that include passage to another Earth-like planet, an intergalactic passport, a guidebook to the other planets and one luxury suite sleep pod aboard a space ark, complete with flat-screen TV, starlight window and mini bar.There are two packages available at his website. The first-class package for $24.49 includes a one-way ticket aboard the USS Ark 2012 Escape Ship to an Earth-like planet, one single sleep pod and an intergalactic Passport ID Card that Dowd promises will allow passengers to "seamlessly make it through any wormhole checkpoint or space customs."
However, folks who purchase the $44.99 "Superluminal" package get upgraded to the luxury suite sleep pod that comes with a flat-screen TV, starlight window and mini bar. They also get a 2012 edition guidebook and "VIP access to exclusive areas of the USS Ark 2012, including the Officers Lounge, 360-degree Stargazing Deck and Zero Gravity Room."
Dowd says he's heard only one complaint from someone who found the product distasteful, which is why he offers money-back guarantees. However, they are available only to those who perish in an apocalyptic situation on Dec. 21, 2012.
"Obviously, that's part of the absurdity," he helpfully pointed out.
