Google Lunar X Prize Team Announcement

On February 21, 2008 at Google's headquarters, ten teams announce their intention to participate in Google's Lunar X Prize competition. Google will award $30 million in prizes for the first two teams to land a robotic rover on the moon and send images and other data back home.

The guy with the cross, thanking Jesus for funding, makes me want to kick a puppy. That a rocket scientist can display such poor critical thinking skills in this one area of his life shows how compartmentalized a theist's brain is.

"Tough nuts." That' a great expression. If I were a cometitor in this contest, I would name my team "tough nuts."

Dear Arca team leader,

The guy you were talking about was a saxon in the Hungarian Kingdom. Read a history book, mate.

The main reason inspiring google's move into the "Xprize" project is assumed to be privitizeing the space industry. There's fuel for fusion technology on the surface of the moon in trace amounts, but the pay off would be INCREDIBLE! We, the people, must have some level of control over space!

sooo true

oh dear, asking him, to hold up a book about rocket science and praise Robert Goddard or someone the likes next time, would be considert too cruel?

right...
