2008 Lunar Lander Challenge Teams Announced

Posted by timothy on from the best-of-luck-to-all-entrants dept.

anzha writes "The X Prize Foundation announced on Monday the competing teams for the 2008 Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge. This year there are ten teams competing for the two prizes. The XPF has a nice matchup utility to compare the different teams' rockets. The one downside to this year though is that the competition will not have an accompanying X Prize Cup. It will be webcast, though. Full disclosure: I am on a team."

    I hope someone wins it this year. I hope more than one team fields a vehicle. I hope Armadillo still comes out ahead ;)

    Anyone notice that JOHN CARMACK is the leader for Team Armadillo? Or is this old news?
