re: NASA's Challenges Program Seeks Input For New Competitions
Phil, this is close to what I would say as well. Here was what I was going to post to my own posting of the details on the suit.
This is a Request for Comments (RFC) so all they are looking for right now is comments on the proposal. Their not looking for companies to compete, yet.
I think the prize for this wonder suit is short by about 500,000 dollars.
Here is a word document on all the prizes with details on how to make comments: http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/eps/eps_data/118924-OTHER-001-001.doc
