Google's sponsering a new X Prize, and this one has its sights set a bit higher than suborbital. The new contest wants competitors to send a robotic rover to the moon and beam back a gigabyte of data -- including pictures and video -- of the trip. The rover also has to travel 1,312 feet across the surface of the moon. Contest entrants are required to pony up for the launch vehicle themselves, by building it from scratch or contracting with an existing company; like the last X Prize there's no government freeloading to be had here. If somebody is successful in this feat by 2012 they'll win the $20 million, while $5 million goes to second place, and another $5 million bonus goes to teams able to surpass the minum requirements. The prize drops to $15 million after 2012 and expires in 2014 if nobody manages to win by then. More details will be announced at the WIRED Nextfest in LA this weekend.
If only we could do this.

Who we realy need right now is EX!
Put the DCEmu.co.uk logo on it!
I can see it now i'll design it EX builds it and puts it on the moon and we get $20 000 000.
I'd have to ask my supervisor on that one.
I don't have the equipment necessary to make something like that. Becides, how would I bring the materials to be constructed on Earth?
cmon ex. dont grays have powers or something? :O
Come on Ex, you can do it!
If you stick a big enough rocket up my ass it will send me to the moon and i can take pictures while i am there, getting backs gonna be a pain though.
