WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP) - Coming up with a glove to be worn in the void of space is not a typical design challenge, but an engineer from Maine has impressed NASA with a design he came up with at his kitchen table. Peter Homer, 45, won $200,000 in NASA's "Astronaut Glove Challenge" at the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks this week.
"I was a little surprised, but I'm definitely very happy about it," he said Friday.
Homer, of Southwest Harbor, Maine, said he'll use the money "to buy food and pay the mortgage."
