The countdown is now on for an unprecedented
commercial spaceflight, and you can help decide one of the key factors or rather, flavors of the launch.
7-Eleven, the largest and oldest chain of convenience stores, is
sending its iconic Slurpee drink on a private spaceflight in celebration of its 94th year in business. The frozen beverage is set to leave Earth this August on a balloon-lofted flight into the stratosphere, departing from a 7-Eleven store in Michigan, the Slurpee capital of the U.S. (a.k.a. the state that consumes the most Slurpee drinks).
