Made it to the end really quickly after figuring out the Apollo 4 picture. Thanks for the puzzles!

Yes, you need a 5-digit code that you out behind a steamgifts link like that: www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/***** (using the code you found instead of the asterisks)

3 giveaways are over now, 4 are still open.
Thank you all for your kind comments, they are appreciated. :)
I added some statistics on how many people reached each tier of the puzzles to the OP.

Sorry, I won't post solutions until all giveaways are over because the earlier puzzles are still needed to get to the higher tiers.
I will probably post solutions to all puzzles at Sunday or Monday.

Only two days left now, two giveaways are still open for new entries.

This week is almost over now but you have still one day to get to the last giveaway if you haven't found it yet.
Good luck. :)

Space week is over now, I hope everyone had as much fun solving the puzzles as I had making them.
I added links to the giveaways and solutions for the puzzles to OP.
Thanks again for all your comments and congratulations to the winners. :)

To unzip a zip file hidden inside a jpeg file just open it manually with WinZip, 7-Zip or others archive programs.

I declare next week to Sci-Fi/Space - week!
To celebrate this occasion I will give away one space or Sci-Fi themed game every day from now until next sunday.
It's not that easy though, you have to solve puzzles first to find the giveaways.
Every giveaway leads you to a puzzle that leads you to the next giveaway.
All giveaways end at 7pm CEST (usually the time the Steam store updates), meaning you have a bit less than 24 hours to enter the first giveaway left, two days for the second, three for third, ..., and a week for the seventh and last giveaway.
All giveaways are already open, so if you manage to solve them all today you could already enter all of them.
Here is the link for the first giveaway, puzzle for the seond giveaway is found in the description.
Some rules:
Hints:
There's a link to somewhat Sci-Fi themed music in every giveaway page, they are NOT needed for solving the puzzles, so feel free to ignore them if you don't want to click them. :)
Puzzle ended:
Correct answers: 1: Fritz Lang, 2: Stanisław Lem, 3: Ijon Tichy (or Professor Tarantoga), 4: HAL 9000, 5: Do Androids dream of electric sheep?
The giveaway code was hidden in the picture left of the rocket. Here's the picture with changed colours and saturation so it's easier to spot: picture
The text was encoded in Caesar cipher with a 12step shift. A hint to Caesar could be found in the text, the easiest way to find the shift was probably by looking at 'S.O.S./E.A.E.' or at the steamgifts link.
The code was the file name of the picture of Ghffovai's new computer in his pacebook profile's picture section.
The giveaway code was the determinant of the matrix seen in the picture. I chose the easiest matrix form, so everyone who got the hint could se it immediately but everyone who doesn't know anything about matrices could still get it by guessing (or looking it up on Google).
The last code was hidden in the picture: It wasn't just a picture but a zip-file as well. Inside it was a text file including the giveaway URL. Apparently opening it with notepad showed the URL as well.
