People are going to try and hack this in-space satellite with the government’s say-so – here’s why

In a few weeks, five teams will get together and try to hack a U.S. satellite orbiting the Earth. The government is not only okay with it, but welcomes the attacks, and will even award the winning team (if we get one) handsomely.

Later today, SpaceX will launch a new rocket which was initially scheduled for liftoff on Sunday, but it seems the weather put a wrench in those plans. The payload is a brand new satellite named Moonlighter.
