Google's $30,000,000 Lunar X PRIZE

Posted by Zonk on from the space-is-the-final-search-field dept.

chroma writes "It's been a long time since anyone has explored the surface of the moon. But now Google has teamed up with the X PRIZE Foundation to offer a $30,000,000 bounty to the first privately funded organization to land a robotic rover on the moon. Google, of course, has offered the free Google Moon mapping service for a few years now. Looks like the other search engines have some catching up to do in the space exploration department."

    Considering the moon doesn't even exist, that it is a ridiculous liberal myth, this is just a stupid PR stunt on Google's part.

    Don't do evil indeed.
