Re: Google puts up 30 Million Prize for Moon Robot

A rover wouldn't be terribly difficult to build, relative to the other tasks involved.

Getting it there with $10,000/lb launch costs, then landing it on the moon with all the complexity (retro-rockets, airbags, robust yet extremely light construction) that entails, that's the tough part.
