Let me guess. NASA is gonna give this 250k award to the winning team, then have ownership of their plans, and award a $100 million dollar contract to one of the biggie aerospace guys to make the thing 10% more efficient and "flight ready." How is this going to save us money?
Whats the point of having more math and science teachers if industry can't create jobs for those people already with backgrounds in engineering, math, and science. Its seems a little absurd for companies to complain about a lack of engineers in thise country when they turn around tell the current pool to become teachers since their job services are being sent overseas. Students would do better to get degrees in marketing and law and learn how to twist words to deceive people into buying shitty products then they would actually working to build useful things for society and then getting laid off.
