You win the trip in space but your employer is not going to let you have the time off, estimating that you would need at least 1 week off. Would you quite in order to take the flight?
Then also consider what if say I take the space flight, but fail the medical screening? Because I took the space flight option and started the process, but then find out I'm not medically cleared did I just loose it all? I mean I may think I am in good condition but the doctor that clears you for the flight may not share the same opinion.
