Their offer is specifically for problems that YC itself faces.
Give us a problem, a painpoint, anything that annoys you in day to day life, and we’ll hack it in 72 hours.
Sending a phone to Mars and back isn't one of them, and is missing the entire spirit of the problem.
- GuiA 15y agoI don't know about you, but for me not being able to explore space by myself is a daily painpoint ;)

Perhaps one of their painpoints is people begging for acceptance with the argument "gosh, we really are worthy, honest!". Maybe they could solve that one by coming up with a way to demonstrate their value beyond a plea for compassion.
