Hi all,

Want an easy way to earn $30,000,000? Then just send a rover to the Moon.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6993373.stm

Google has teamed up with the X-prize foundation to offer $30 million for private companies to send a rover to the moon.

Something different for the robotics club here at uni!!!! 8)

Cheers,

Maurice

I suspect Mr. Rutan and his backers just might take a shot at this prize.
