Talkway members will earn miles for passage on Zegrahm Space Voyages's first commercial space flight in 2001. The program commenced on the Talkway site, October 26 and will run through January 15, 1998. Users who accumulate 2001 or more space miles during the two-month period will be eligible for a drawing to win a ticket on the Zeghram Space Cruiser.

"By participating in Talkway�s Supercommunity service, the impossible becomes possible," said Tom Chun, President and CEO of Talkway Inc. "Anything from going to space, selling a car, finding old vinyl records, a backgammon partner, or even locating that old southern chicken recipe your great grandmother took to her grave. No matter how impossible a task it may seem, among the 20 million people at Talkway, someone will have an answer."

2001 Space Miles Sweepstakes

To partake in the Space Miles Sweepstakes, users can simply go to www.talkway.com and participate in their favorite discussion groups. Space miles will be earned for registering, posting messages in newsgroups and for getting friends and colleagues to sign up for a free Talkway membership.

Participants earn space miles by:

• Becoming a Talkway member = 1000 space miles
• Sending an e-mail to 10 friends about the Talkway service = 100 space miles each
• Log into Talkway one more time as a registered user = one space mile

The spaceflight aboard a Zegrahm Space Cruiser offers voyagers a period of weightlessness and views of the earth�s orbit. The two and a half hour flight is part of a seven day space voyage program that combines lectures, films, simulator experiences and astronomy sessions at the Space Institute.

"We are very excited to be participating in the Space Miles Sweepstakes venture with Talkway," said Scott Fitzsimmons, Vice President of Zegrahm Expeditions. "People around the world will be watching on December 1, 2001 when the first commercial shuttle voyage breaks out of the earth�s orbit.
