First off I wouldn't let NASA anywhere near it... their track record for on time delivery or money management isn't that great.
I'd talk to the euro guys or that Sea Launch outfit first.
I totally agree with some of the other posters... private enterprise could build a robot for the moon at a fraction of the government's construction cost... right off the bat, NO $600.00 Mr Coffee machines, NO $800.00 toilet seats, and NO weekend trips to the Virgin Islands for the bosses!
However... there will be, free Mt Dew's, friday pig pickings, and a big screen tv to watch the NASCAR races!
