Help a future astronaut-- Astronaut Glove Challenge, ideas wanted!!

One of the best examples of public participation in the space program is the Centennial Challenges program. This is a NASA prize program where NASA has put out seven Challenges to date, and offers prizes to the winners. Anyone can participate, and one of the coolest stories is about Peter Homer, who first won the Astronaut Glove Challenge in 2007.

The Astronaut Glove Challenge continues with more interesting challenges to face-- there's now a focus on "dexterity and flexibility". What's really cool is that Volanz Aerospace Inc./Spaceflight America, the external organization that partners with NASA to run the Challenge event, is asking YOU to give feedback on the Astronaut Glove Challenge.

Go to the Astronaut Glove Challenge website and email organizer Alan Hayes. By giving input on the competition rules, you can make the end competition products more useful to NASA. You can also see a diagram of the nifty "finger torque measurement" and see videos of past competitions.

Best of luck to all the Citizen Engineers out there!!
