A reader named Repli C8tor writes:

One hardware hacker who documents their project on Hackaday will win a ride to space on his or her choice of space company. The alternative is a just short of $200,000USD cash prize.

The winner can hitch a ride on any galactic space company, including Virgin Galactic or SpaceX. Other prizes include team sky diving, a paid trip to the Akihabara electronics district in Japan, and hardware hacking tools such as milling and tooling machines and 3D printers.

"We launched The Hackaday Prize because we want to see the next evolution of hardware happen right now, and we want it to be open," said Mike Szczys, managing editor of Hackaday.com.
