The Amateur Future of Space Travel, NY Times

“One of the reasons Congress was telling us they weren’t giving us any more money,” Ken Davidian, the NASA administrator of the challenges, told me, “was because we had not awarded any money.” Davidian is a small compact man with a bit of a Dudley Do-Right chin and a swift, busy manner. At any of the contests, he can be found setting up his traveling triptych (actually five panels, a pentatych) of promotional material. “I wasn’t disappointed we weren’t giving money away,” he said, “because we had good company, and it shows that the prizes were hard to win.”
