Building Robot Astronauts

From the creator

NASA has put out the challenge: can YOU build software for a space robot? Along with that warm fuzzy feeling that you've helped humanity reach for the stars, a cash prize will be awarded to the winners. And the life-cycle of a nova is investigated in a new paper that uncovers evidence for the nova hibernation hypothesis.
