I want to go to space!! But I'm seriously unclear on exactly what I'm supposed to be building here...

Oh. Ideally you would be building the spaceship.

Thanks for clarifying that!

http://hackaday.io/prize/details looks like they're intentionally vague.

You should build the coolest project you can think off. I highly doubt that a simple laser cut alarm clock is going to get you very far in this contest.

Seriously? Italy?

Our law is a clusterfuck :)

See http://www.slideshare.net/Promosfera/sweepstakes-and-contest... and http://www.promosfera.it/faq_italia.php (in Italian).

This is the actual law: http://www.cr.camcom.it/files/concorsi-premio/dpr_430_2001.p... (in Italian too)

Basically, you have to have a fiscal presence in Italy, and your servers (or a mirror of them) must be here too. The assignment of the price must be done in front of a notary, and you have to take care of tax/vat as well.

What if you just send BTC? I mean, without a presence in Italy, their courts can't reach you anyways.

There are plenty of people ignoring this law, in Italy and in the world. But I'd say that a trip in the space is something a bit too big for just ignoring laws :)
