On Oct 30, 2009, Team Masten qualified for Level 2 of the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander X PRIZE Challenge. Hear what Dave Masten, Team Leader and CEO of Masten Space Systems felt like after successfully putting Xoie on the trailer at the end of Flight #2. Find out more at: www.thelaunchpad.xprize.org
@GT4604 It was a freshly graded site, so he could have spun it in even deeper, with two dewars of liquid oxygen on the back. We had two minutes to win a million dollars, so I'll yell to re-task if that's what needs to be done.

Lol the truck driver was just fine... whats wrong with you guys. It was in 2wd. The guy yelling at him needs to calm down :P

Hahaha...the guy driving the truck reminds me of Dick Van Dyke falling all over the place, except that he does it while driving.
Seriously, they should have someone else handle the driving...even if he is the boss.
The flying was awesome, but the driving was hilarious!

This about creating a new industry that pushes the planet's economy out into the solar system.

Good job.
That guy shouldn't be driving that truck though. Look at the truck. It's been beat to shit. I wouldn't let him be driving around that badass rocket.

The way it looks we might see someone win the Google lunar Xprize soon.
Winning level 2 of the Northrop lunar lander xprize is supposed to demonstrate enough delta V to perform a lunar landing.
Of course making it work in space will be a lot more work then making it work on earth.
