    The guy is studying Aeronautics in Delft and has been working on his flying bike since he was 16. He manage to fly 1.5 m high and 10 m long! A bit higher and the bike helm is not going to be of so much help!

    The catalog, a master list organized into 15 categories, is intended for industry, academia, other government agencies, and general public. The catalog covers technology topics ranging from project management systems, design tools, data handling, image processing, solutions for life support functions, aeronautics, structural analysis, and robotic and autonomous systems. NASA said the codes represent NASA's best solutions to an array of complex mission requirements. McMillan reported that "Within a few weeks of publishing the list, NASA says, it will also offer a searchable database of projects, and then, by next year, it will host the actual software code in its own online repository, a kind of GitHub for astronauts."

    seems as if they are lacking ideas ?? :-) and honestly: "The Grand Prize Winner will be announced 6 January and will receive $500 plus a one year, on-line subscription to the AIAA Journal of their choice. Two runner-up winners will each receive $250 and a one year, on-line subscription to the AIAA Journal of their choice." ... :-)
