As if it wasn't exciting enough, this year's Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge
is getting more and more interesting each day!
At the start of the competition season we had three teams competing...
and now we have four.
Armadillo Aerospace, Masten Space Systems, Unreasonable Rocket, and the newcomer Bon Nova.
Yesterday Masten Space qualified to win the $150,000 Level 1 second place prize.
A winner will not be declared until the end of the season,
which is October 31st 2009.
But where this is getting interesting is that Masten has been very accurate in all of their landings.
Unofficially they were on average only 11 centimeters off the center X.
Even Armadillo, who won the Level 1 first place prize last year
and qualified for the Level 2 first place prize this year hasn't been that close.
Let's just say that Unreasonable and Bon Nova certainly have their work cut out for them!
Each team has had their ups and downs, but we here at Spacevidcast
would like to send out a big congratulations to all of them
for even making it this far.
It's not easy... it's Rocket Science for crying out loud.
And not everything is going to go exactly the way you want it to.
But that's ok, because all of the hard work and patience is what makes that win that much bigger.
You guys are really the ones who are pushing the envelope
and helping to advance science and space in ways that were never thought possible before.
People like you will go down in history
for being the forefathers of colonies on other planets and in other galaxies.
For more information on all of these teams and their great accomplishments,
