NASA Planning Six More Centennial Challenges

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-centennial-challenge-is-only-a-theory dept.

FleaPlus writes "NASA has announced plans for six more Centennial Challenges for space-related technological achievements. The X Prize-inspired competitions will have cash prizes of up to $5 million. The challenges are for an orbital fuel depot, a lunar-capable all-terrain vehicle, a pressure suit, a long-term rechargeable power system, a micro reentry vehicle, and a maneuverable solar sail. NASA is currently requesting feedback comments on its current draft of the contest rules."

    This is probably part of NASA's sneaky plan to address GWB's big space exploration initiative. The real money is being spent studying global warming and other "down to earth" topics we should be concerned about. Uhm, I mean, global warming theory.. yeah.
