Craigslist Seller Offers One Lucky Jobseeker $25K to Fly to Titan
While most people are not on the hunt for Astronaut jobs in Craigslist, the online classifieds site had one, with an interesting destination and some rather unusual fine print.
One lucky person will be paid $25,000 to fly to Titan. The poster, however, acknowledges that it will be a one way trip, as there will not be enough fuel on the “secret space craft” to get the amateur astronaut home.
Astronaut needed for experimental flight to Titan. I have been working on this project now for near 40 years and am afraid I’m no longer fit enough to go. My secret space craft is the result of my professional experience and imagination while serving the U.S. military in advanced aeronautics as a scientist. The craft harnesses a revolutionary propulsion system and its fuselage is fabricated with the most advanced material. While considerably safe, I am certain you will make it safely to Titan but there will not be enough fuel to get home. This is for someone unique that has always wanted to see the universe first-hand and has perhaps a terminal view on life here at home. Here’s your shot at romantic history.
At least he/she offers to get the astronaut there safely.
UPDATE: The Craigslist listing has unfortunately been flagged for removal.
