I have been pondering why no one is interested into going to the moon anymore? Maybe everybody feels that organisations like NASA will take care of that. But now Google opened a contest, it sounds almost like a DIY trip to the moon. I love it. If I had some money to build me a rocket I would be in!
As quoted from a Computerlove blogpost:
"COMPETITION GUIDELINES: To win the Google Lunar X PRIZE, a team must successfully land a privately funded craft on the lunar surface and survive long enough to complete the mission goals of roaming about the lunar surface for at least 500 meters and sending a defined data package, called a “Mooncast”, back to Earth.
PRIZES: The total purse of the Google Lunar X PRIZE is $30 million (USD) etc.see Picasa"
