ABOUT THE X PRIZE FOUNDATION
http://xprize.org
The X PRIZE Foundation is an educational (501c3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to bring about radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, thereby inspiring the formation of new industries and the revitalization of markets that are currently stuck due to existing failures or a commonly held belief that a solution is not possible. The foundation addresses the world's Grand Challenges by creating and managing large-scale, high-profile, incentivized prize competitions that stimulate investment in research and development worth far more than the prize itself. It motivates and inspires brilliant innovators from all disciplines to leverage their intellectual and financial capital.
Yeah, I wish Moonbots was around when I was a kid, but I'm so excited it's around now and yes, good luck!
Just had an idea that the lego landscape should totally be augmented with some moon dust simulant: youtube.com/watch?v=eTYCz4ft8yw&feature=player_detailpage#t=77s
It would make for some epic pictures if you added a back drop as well.
Do it!
