FYI

"NASA announced two new cash prizes Friday, each with a weighty
$250,000
purse, in a pair of contests aimed at developing robotic systems for
space exploration.

The space agency is challenging innovators to build an autonomous
aerial
vehicle to navigate a tricky flight path or robots capable of building
complex structures with only limited guidance from their human
handlers,
NASA officials said.

The contests - dubbed the Planetary Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and
Telerobotic Construction challenges, respectively - are part of the
agency's Centennial Challenges
<http://www.space.com/news/050323_centennial_challenge.html> program to
spur interest in commercializing space technologies. Both challenges
will make their competitive debut in 2007, NASA officials said."

$250k doesn't sound like much compared to DARPAs cool $1mil. But
nobody's doing it for the prize money anyways, right?

We needed something to replace DARPA anyway.
