Bend it like Beckham

It has been noted that the ball that David Beckham kicked into the stands in a failed penalty kick had been purchased by Golden Palace Casino for about $44,000 Canadian. The Ball will travel Europe and then be launched into space by the Casino. The Online Casino is the major sponsor of da Vinci Project, their entry into an international space competition. Their rocket is called Wildfire, and it will launch from Kindersley, Saskatchewan October 2nd. The Prize is $10 million dollars. The recipient of the $10 million prize will be the first team to travel safely to space twice within a two-week period on a privately funded, re-useable spacecraft. Inside will be the Beckham ball and the space crafts pilot.
