The race to put a privately funded robot on the moon-and win the Google Lunar X-Prize-is officially set for 2017
It took five years of deadline extensions and an extra $10 million in prize money, but two private organizations have paid for launches in 2017 that they hope will make them the first private groups to land a robot on the moon. Should they succeed, they’ll be awarded the $30 million Google Lunar X-Prize.
