Google has done it again another competition that is heating up with private firms, rally technologists and entrepreneurs. Its very exciting that we will get to see more new adventures that holds for us in the moon now that the last space shuttle landed on earth. Google proposed a competition to see who can build something successfully that will be able to land on the moon. Deadline is December 2015. Many competitors are excited for the challenge and already have started building and are thinking of the possibility and money that awaits them on their first embark to try to get to the moon. Naveen Jain, an Internet billionaire and a founder of Moon Express has many ideas on how his first flight will impact the world as we know it. some of his brilliant ideas are "Moon Idol" like american idol but on the moon. This is very exciting because who knows what the future holds for us with this new competition and I am excited to see it how it goes in the near future...
