Maybe not enough for you, but to some high school/college kid it's a good chunk of money. Not to mention that having this project on your resume (whether or not you win) is definitely not a bad thing. Being able to have an influence over how NASA presents all of it's data from the last 30 years to the public is probably enough incentive by itself for some.

- bgilroy26 15y agoThere are folks out there that really love NASA. Other organizations might not be able to pull something like his off, but if NASA can, they aren't fleecing everybody, they're just taking advantage of their market position amongst computer enthusiasts as the recognized leader in space research.
