Congratulations to winner Peter Homer and the other competitors! Hopefully we'll see them all back next year.

I hope people follow your space.com link because it has some cool pictures of the event and the gloves. I also like the following article from a local Connecticut paper.

It has some interesting tidbits on the gloves and competitors that I haven't seen in other articles (as well as another cool glove test picture).

My congratulations to Homer as well and to NASA's prize program managers for gutting it through some tough times at NASA to see their way through to the program's first prize award. Looking forward to even better things this year in the Lunar Lander Prize, the Regolith Prizes, and the Personal Aircraft Prize. Keep up the good work!
