That must be some awfully tasty Kool-Aid you've been drinking, but no, I can't imagine the prestige because I'm doubtful that anyone outside of the team who wins, and perhaps their employers, will care. This is hardly the first spaceship to Mars — it's a 2-day prototyping challenge. I'm sure it's not the first, and I'm sure it won't be the last. And as far as the "extreme" aspect goes, sure it's in the Arctic, but that fact doesn't make the challenge any more challenging. It's not like you'll be bolting together machinery out in the cold, bracing wind — you'll be using a MacBook Pro inside of a hotel. What's extreme about it? -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
