Everything looked good, but when I sent 2 emails to the organizers asking for some details (and received no response), all the things changed to me…and I even wrote an inbox to the Facebook page of the contest, and happened the same (no answer at all)
What do you think? – is, perhaps, anybody else officially inside this contest now?
Hope to read anything from you soon, thanks!

Only that I'd listen to your suspicions and wait for some sign of legitimacy (tinfoil hats don't count) before spending any money or time.

NASA might do this as a PR exercise, but in that case they would not be charging a fee. The firms that have already designed the different spacecraft and the space station have a deep knowledge base that would be called on. Not to say you couldn't have an original idea that would be appreciated.

Hi volunteer, what is a PR exercise?

Public Relations. An exercise to get people (taxpayers) talking about and supporting the mission.

I agree now with you, Volunteer...Everything looks very strange, but the thing that definitely turned me suspicious is that they do not answer any questions (sent by email or sent to their Facebook inbox)
Any other thoughts?
