Uploaded by xprize on Sep 12, 2007
The Google Lunar X PRIZE seeks to create a global private race to the Moon that excites and involves people around the world and, accelerates space exploration for the benefit of all humanity. The use of space has dramatically enhanced the quality of life and may ultimately lead to solutions to some of the most pressing environmental problems that we face on earth -- energy independence and climate change.

Who's footing the fuel bill for this challenge, the participants themselves? Nobody's going to spend 180 million in fuel and R n D just to make Mack 30 mil this is retardeds.

Awesome!
-
@gudsaute We're talking about a $30 million prize pool here, including 20 million for first place ... Efficiency and driving down costs is great and all, but 20 million dollars makes about as much difference as if there was no prize at all, considering this is aerospace research and development, the most expensive and complex endeavor people have pursued so far.

@slackeriii2 actually, the smaller the amount the greater will be the chance of innovation that will drive down costs of such a program. It could ensure efficiency (cheaper) and thus a more sustainable re-landing for follow up missions

they probably should've thrown the money they used for this video into the pot while they were at it, but I'm a little more optimistic: if this xprize pans out in the near future, say five years, there's a decent chance people will give up on NASA and we can finally scrap the damn thing. That would be something :D

$30M = pretty much free publicity for google. If you guys really want to stimulate private space exploration, you need to make it at least a few hundred million.
-
tha lander is pretty simple to make, but who can make the rocket?

The Google Lunar X - the next UAC. The corporation that was responsible for dooming Mars and Earth.

@skinnywhop87 Ha! I'm sure of it.
