...or at least build something cool?

The X Prize Foundation is asking the public to comment on the draft rules
set for its lunar lander challenge. According to draft rules for the lunar
lander contest, competitors will be challenged to build a vehicle capable of
launching vertically, travel a distance of 328 to 656 feet (100 to 200
meters) horizontally, and then land at a designated site. A return trip
would then occur between 5 minutes and 30 minutes later...Comments are
sought by March 1 with initial sign-ups slated for May 15, according to
draft rules, though Murphy added that the comment period could be extended
to 30 days."
