It'll probably cost a couple million to make the lunar thing in the first place...

Yeah, but just sit back and fathom working with a team to build, program, & launch this baby into space.

That'd be awesome, like a big mission thing. Except when you win/lose. If you win the team becomes a pack of greedy savages. If you lose the team starts putting blame on others.

Yeah, I know. I'm a pessemist.

Its not even about the *****. The ***** is just a cushion for the time you put into the project. I would divide the total winnings by the number of team members giving each the same percent no matter what your job is. A team member is a team member and one member is just as important as the next.

The cool thing about projects like these are that very few people can image this is even possible, but math & science rarely lie. The problem lies in the gab between creativity and math/science. You have to put together many creative minds to sum up all the possible crazy scenarios you might encounter in the different earth/moon conditions. Most people will not even attempt to make this happen so your competition comes in very low numbers.

It really boils down to components:
The earth booster, to propel your drone into space.
Drone builders for earth/moon conditions
Camera crew, Networking crew, Disaster recovery crew
Math/science crew to guide the build, aim the drone, & bring it home safely
and then there is the ***** component. Most do not understand how easy it is for your governments to fund projects such as these. It brings them publicity=*****.

I wish I could see it in the same light that you are, seems like a waste of time/*****/effort just to do something that can be done more efficiently by The Man.

It's not like you're even going to discover something, all you're doing is sending a thing up to space to capture images and recordings. No scientific value.
