Moon Mining Race Under Way

Posted by samzenpus on from the a-lot-of-cheese dept.

New submitter rujholla writes "The race to the moon is back! This time, though, it's through private enterprise. Google has offered a $20m grand prize to the first privately-funded company to land a robot on the moon and explore the surface (video) by moving at least 500 meters and sending high definition video back to Earth by 2015."

    My favorite scenario is we take all the leading moon landing hoax people to the apollo landing sites and ask them to remove their helmets.

    That will shut them up.
