Google's moon shot: Founders hope to inspire low-cost space travel
Having conquered cyberspace, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have set their sights on a new frontier - the moon.
The duo first considered building their own private space ship. But instead they have arranged for their Mountain View company to fund the Lunar X Prize, a competition that will award $20 million to the first team that lands a private unmanned spacecraft on the moon - and broadcasts high-definition video back to earth.
Is this true... ? :P hmmm... Google is google ....
