OK, Hypographers! The amount of brain power that comes to this playground is fantastic, and I thought that this might be an opportunity to collaborate as a team on a very fun idea. Google and The X Prize Foundation have announced a new competition, a $20,000,000 prize for the first team to land a craft on the moon and return some very specific data (functioning rover with camera's and broadcast capability). This thread is dedicated to collaborating on exactly how that could be achieved. All aspects of the project will be considered and discussed. If needed we will break into sub teams such as launch, landing, rover, broadcast, navigation, etc.
First off, here is a link to the site that details the contest...
Welcome | X PRIZE Foundation
This should be a great deal of fun!
