"We Make Lunar Landers" says their website proudly. I truly hope that they are successful. In this age where our money goes (through government decisions) to fight wars rather than on expanding mankind's knowledge, we need these lean start-ups to get the most "bang for their buck" in their endeavours.New Scientist reports this week that Moon Express, in conjunction with the International Lunar Observatory Association, intend to land a telescope on the moon by 2016. The telescope will be open to the public to operate via the internet.
Public access to a lunar telescope!!! Percival Lowell would be both overjoyed and amazed at the very thought.
