Men, you are in luck. Women, you are not, because 鈥尘别苍鈥from around the world into outer space. In a bizarre and slightly pitiful advert starring 82-year-old Apollo 11 runner-up Buzz Aldrin, Axe announced the opportunity to “leave a man … and come back a hero.”

From January 9 through February 3,聽聽as a celebration of Axe鈥檚 decision to spend millions on a SuperBowl ad. (I would make fun of this, but it is promoting聽SPACE聽so I won鈥檛.) For聽everyone聽else in the world: make a profile explaining why you should get to go to space鈥攁nd then get everyone to vote on you. If you make it into the top tier, you do a country-specific 鈥渃hallenge鈥 to determine a national champ.
Winners from 20 countries move on to the 鈥楽pace Camp鈥 round in Florida where high speed jets will flip you around, parabolic flights will get you weightless, and a centrifuge will crush you with either . All of this is to determine who won鈥檛 freak out on a suborbital space jaunt on a (still聽untested, still in development)聽. If the spaceship doesn鈥檛 fly by the end of 2020, the winner gets a check for $86k. Not space, but not too bad after seven years of waiting.

And think about how you鈥檙e letting down your country, Planet Earth, and, most importantly, men. If that鈥檚 still not enough, Mr. Aldrin would like to punch you in the face.
