Buy your way onto a space flight using Bitcoins

Hopefully you haven’t spent all of your hard-mined Bitcoins on pizza just yet, because now you can put them toward becoming an astronaut. Startup I Dream of Space (IDoS) wants to put you on a commercial flight into space, but rather than just ask for a bunch of your money to send you there, the company is only asking everyone for a little bit of money and will choose a winner at random.

...

Perhaps the best part about this raffle is that you can buy the poster using Bitcoins. If you happen to buy the winning ticket to space with the pseudo-currency, you’ll be able to say you are going to space thanks in part to Bitcoin.

then use Random.org to choose a number, all while live-streaming the drawing.
So i should trust his "live-stream"?

What about using a PROVABLE FAIR system? Would be much much much better.
