Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The NASA competition is also based on the unfortunate situation, which currently exists in the world, in which commercial supersonic aircraft are no longer flying anywhere on Earth. This situation has existed since the British and French Concorde fleets were retired in 2003.
NASA states in the introduction to its competition, “For the first time in the history of commercial aviation, we have taken a step backward. We had the capability to fly faster than sound with commercial transports, as demonstrated by the Concorde. There are no commercial supersonic aircraft flying today. How do we enable people to cover large distances (across continents and oceans) quickly without placing an excessive burden on our environment?”
The Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD), which is located in Washington, D.C., is holding the competition under its Fundamental Aeronautics Program. ARMD personnel will review, judge, and announce the winners of the contest.
All entries will be judged on “informed content, imagination, innovation, creativity, relevancy, organization and writing.”
NASA states that winners in the high school division will be awarded $1,000, for individuals, and $1,500, for group entries.
In the college division, winners will be eligible for paid student NASA internships and cash totaling up to $5,000.
