Yesterday, I reported on Google going green. Today, I have more news from the Google camp.
For those unfamiliar with X-Prize, it’s essentially a race to see who will accomplish the first privately funded human moon landing. Today, Google announced its love for space by joining the party.
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’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m going to the moon in 2017. I’ll take lots of pictures, I promise.
