The Ao Shun Won 1st Place!

So, in April, I submitted some details about one of the star starships (ha...alliteration) in my book Banner to a contest that Popular Science set up this last spring:

I never heard back after I submitted, so I actually thought they'd rejected my submission because it was too far-fetched. Then I completely forgot about it...until I got a mysterious email saying I won first place in something.

I still have trouble believing it happened...(I'll post a link to the article once it's published)
