Canadians might be the next to go to the moon.

I heard about this on a Canadian news channel this evening. A private Canadian company named ‘Odyssey Moon’ may be the next to send a vehicle to the surface of the moon. They are going to do it
with the hope of obtaining the ‘Google Lunar X prize’. Although this will
be an unmanned voyage, the equipment, and team are all Canadian. They will be landing the vehicle on the surface, then apparently a smaller vehicle will come out of the first one, drive around for a bit and take some pictures to feed back to the team. I’m not sure if the vessel will actually be returning to Earth however. They hope to eventually offer private trips to the Moon and say they could potentially be the first
to shuttle food to people who will be staying there. They also claim their voyage and the private trips they eventually hope to offer citizens could and will be 10 times cheaper than those of NASA. If you know any more about this feel free to add.

 

That's pretty cool.

 

i'll keep my trips to space in my mind..or the woods, there's more food in the woods.

 

Hell yeah, go Canada!

 

I doubt Canada will be the first to the moon. :toetap05:

 

heh...I like that answer

 

I'm glad you caught that.

 

Well, except this guy,

Jay Honeycutt


He's the President of Odyssey Moon,

Of the 19 teams entered, i would bet on Odyssey Moon too.


Google Lunar X Prize



Sadly enough, the USA is just over a year away from it's last Shuttle Program Mission

Oh, I had heard the vehicle was going to be unmanned. I'll have to read more about it I suppose. Thanks for the links.
