I love this.  The Victory Project out of Austin, TX is offering the amount of $1,000,000,000 to whoever can find a solution to problems in our society which need innovation and determination.  Our fame addicted culture has watered down what it really means to inspire and be successful.  Whatever happened to the days when making real contributions to life and science was what a child wanted to do when they grew up?

There is still time.

One billion dollars to the first person(s) that solves any of these Problems:

1. Develop a cure for breast cancer.
   
2. Develop a cure for diabetes.
   
3. Reduce greenhouse emissions from petroleum powered automobiles by 95% without increasing the cost of a normal car more than 5%.
   
4. Achieve 150 miles per gallon of gasoline in a 3,000 lb. car, using EPA standards; without increasing the cost of a normal car more than 10%.

I personally could think of several more which should be on this list, but it is a great start.
