Can't help but admire people that do this...

http://www.googlelunarxprize.org/lunar

"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.

The Google Lunar X PRIZE seeks to create a global private race to the Moon that excites and involves people around the world and, accelerates space exploration for the benefit of all humanity. The use of space has dramatically enhanced the quality of life and may ultimately lead to solutions to some of the most pressing environmental problems that we face on earth – energy independence and climate change."
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

I've heard of that a couple months before it...

I actually figured some of the stuff out... But the $25,000,000 you win will probably cover the cost of building and fueling it...

But it is 25 million dollars!
