Do you want to win $20 million?

Do you want to win $20 million? In that case you would have a look at the Google Lunar X PRIZE Competition where any private organization (whit out help from any government) can win a grand prize of $20 millions for putting a craft on the moon. More about the rules can be found at the contests web site: www.googlelunarxprize.org/lunar/competition/guidelines

The contest is one of X Prize Foundations contests (they previously offered about $10 millions to anyone sending a craft outside the earth atmosphere) and it's sponsored by Google. So if anyone can do this Google will get their name on the moon :D

It's going to be really fun to see if anyone can send a craft to the moon before the contest deadline by 2014.

Do you think anyone can do it? Or will Branson do it for some publicity? If someone succeeds they have to do it for publicity or they must have a lot of donations because the estimated cost for this project will be much more then the actual prize money so the winner will not end up rich :cry:
