It's amazing how many contests/challenges exist in the tech community given how poorly spec work is looked upon by the design community.
I'm not as knowledgable about the design community as I am about the tech community, but it seems to me that the design community rallies against these types of challenges a lot more strongly than the tech community does.

- TheCowboy 15y agoNASA is facing massive budget cuts. NASA is part of the government, not a for-profit corporation. Assuming NASA actually contributes something positive, when did it become wrong to actually volunteer your time to the pursuit of science or promotion of learning for the public good? I'm really surprised at what seems like a general eye-rolling response when most geeks recognize the value of NASA.
