Hackaday announces a hardware contest; the winner goes to space

Hackaday has announced an open hardware design contest today for the worldwide community of hackers and the grand prize winner will receive a free trip to space or $196,418 cash.
We want the next evolution of connected devices to happen now and we want it to be Open. Why shouldn’t Hackaday be the biggest cheerleader, encourager, and enabler for the cause of Open Hardware?
Build a piece of hardware that moves past the rut of “Internet-enabled refrigerators” and billion dollar thermostats (we couldn’t resist). Think big, come up with a piece of hardware that has the potential to change the lives of many. Or just build something silly and fun. But do it at a high level, and share your work. We’re not disqualifying entries that don’t share their secrets, but we are giving a strong judging preference on just how open each design will be.
This is about doing, not about about waiting for something to happen.
The Hackaday Prize will send one person into space for building the next evolution of hardware.
The Hackaday Prize
