2021 Entrepreneurs Challenge

After numerous rounds of cooperation with private companies, NASA seeks to gather innovative ideas from the Entrepreneurs. Their contributions to modern space exploration are indisputable. And I guess it is wise to have more individuals to brainstorm ideas and deal with unsolved challenges; we did this all the time in school. NASA did it this way to create a “Space Race” platform where the companies compete on a piece of paper in two rounds. The winner will receive $90,000 in prize funding in total.

It is the first awarded challenge opening to the public. I am thrilled to see who is going to win in this challenge. As we might all have heard of the large-scale companies advancing space innovations on the news, it is undeniable that some small companies might have good ideas but no funding to make it happen. Let's see how the challenge goes.
