Re: Google puts up 30 Million Prize for Moon Robot

Well you know how I would do this....I would focus on the maneuvering rocket and the robot itself. Try to get connected with the spaceship one team, and just have the satellite as as payload for one of their flights. Once out of the earth's atmosphere they could release it and it would use maneuvering thrusters to get to the moon.

Now obviously it isn't that simple but I think the opportunity to work with companies or teams already in place is the way to make this affordable.
