#1 I would like to see a $100M prize for the first private organization that could land a functioning probe on the Moon, and a $1B prize for landing one on Mars.

The prize would specify that it had to successfully land on that body, then perform the function of digging a horizontal hole in rock, sealed with a door, to protect itself from the elements.

This would not only be a technological achievement, but a practical scientific one as well.
