Google looner x prize
The object of this project is to get a working data transmitting rover to the moon. The average team is made up of multimillion dollar companies with a lot of resources. Then there is FredNet that wants to win this project but has no real backers and needs a lot of money and is depending on people from all over the world to pull this off by donating there time, and money. It sounds interesting but with out real employees, only volunteers and no real money backers it probably won't happen. You may get a lot of good suggestions and some cool designs but when it comes time to build and launch the device, I don't see anyone donating the kind of money they will need. The commercial launch is 6 - 10 million dollars by itself, let alone everything else. Personally I think it is a waste of time and money.

ReplyDeleteYes, but what a cool thought! Of course THEY thought that Linux would never take off either.
