Google rovers at Moon
So far 19 teams have registered for the contest.
To win, they must land a rover on the moon that will then drive 500 metres before turning to photograph its landing site – all before the end of 2012.We expect some of them will shoot Armstrong's jettisoned backpack at the picture left. Or even bring it back to Earth (bonus award). Seems he was pretty sure that LM life support system will not fail in the next half hour.
Or he was so sure because he was at Earth? Anyway, that would finally convince me he was actually there. Any additional sponsor ?
Here left is an real? picture of Earth or perhaps Mars from Apollo 11 camera.
No big blue basketball Earth we used to see at the Moon shoots.
