Too fat to fly to space: 330lb man who won a trip on SpaceX's first tourist flight had to give his ticket to a friend because he exceeded the 250lb weight limit
- Kyle Hippchen won a raffle for a ticket to be part of SpaceX's Inspiration4 crew
- However, he discovered that at 330lbs, he exceeded SpaceX's 250lbs weight limit
- The 43-year-old from Florida donated his seat to his college roommate, Chris Sembroski, 42, who met the height and weight requirements
- Hippchen said: 'I'm insanely disappointed, but it is what it is'
- He spent $600 on raffle tickets for the seat, while his college friend Sembroski spent $50 and ended up being the one who got the once-in-a-lifetime experience
Travelling into space is something that many people dream of, and it almost became a reality for one man - until he stepped on the scales.
Airline pilot Kyle Hippchen, 43, from Florida, was delighted to win a raffle ticket to be part of the Inspiration4 crew on SpaceX's first tourist flight last year.
But at 5ft10 and 330lbs he exceeded SpaceX's 250lb weight limit.
So his seat went to his college roommate, Chris Sembroski, 42, a data engineer in Everett, Washington while Hippchen watched from a VIP balcony.
The pain of missing out on the once-in-a-lifetime trip still hasn't worn off for Hippchen, who hasn't been able to bring himself to watch the Netflix series about the flight.
'It hurts too much,' he said. 'I'm insanely disappointed. But it is what it is.'
