We received many fine entries in the Space Technology 5 tortilla spacecraft contest (ended May 2002). Co-sponsored by the Tortilla Industry Association, prizes were awarded in two categories: spacecraft designed from tortillas and recipes using tortillas. First prize in each category was a $4000 U.S. savings bond, second prize was a $2000 U.S. savings bond, and third prize was a $1000 U.S. savings bond.
