Build a Mindstorm Robot to Fly to ISS

CodingFrenzy writes: "If you're over 18 and living in Germany, Switzerland or Austria (thats all in Europe) you can submit your best Mindstorm based Robot to a competition to fly to the ISS (this link in German). Choose any design you want: cleaning windows, space-ballet, etc. Include a gravity generator and you might even be able to use those wheels. Pack it into fur and give them a space-pet. What the heck, there's enough junk in space already..." If you win, let us know, we'll send you a t-shirt. :)

    I just find it funny the fact you had to point that out

    You'd be surprised.. I posted to the article about the world's top computers, noting that the top four are at .mil installations doing "energy research", and cracked that maybe they're working on 90 MPG engines or cold fusion, and two people let me know that nuclear simulations are energy research too. Sadly, one thing this medium doesn't convey so well is the subtleties of sarcasm, something which all true geeks are quite well-versed in.
