Google - $30m To Any Private Firm That Can Land A Rover On The Moon...


It has been many decades since we explored the Moon from the lunar surface, and it could be another 6 - 8 years before any government returns. Even then, it will be at a large expense, and probably with little public involvement.

When we were creating Google, the concept of a web search engine able to capture everything in the Internet seemed like an unimaginable goal and yet today many companies, Google among them, are able to do this.

How cool is that? I wonder who will step up to the challenge, and when it will happen...
