Not in his wildest dreams did Kyle Hippchen think he had a chance of winning a seat aboard a SpaceX flight – but win he did – only to end up having to gift the trip of a lifetime to a friend.
A disappointed Hippchen, 43, told the New York Post that he gave the prize to his friend after the company determined that he exceeded the weight limit. Hippchen weighs in at 330 pounds, above the 250-pound weight limit for the voyage.
“It hurts too much,” he said. “I’m insanely disappointed, but it is what it is.”
