Google Lunar X-Prize Moon 2.0
InterPlanetary Ventures is entering the Google Lunar X-Prize competition. This is an exciting opportunity, and it couldn't have come at a better time! Companies like SpaceX and Masten Space Systems are working to bring down the cost of access to space. Bigelow Aerospace is bringing affordable structures to market for space stations or space ships! The International Lunar Observatory Association is proceeding with their plans to land an observatory on the moon in 2010. There has been some grumbling this year about NASA's plans for the moon not including infrastructure for private development. That's not their job! If we want private development on the moon, we have to do it ourselves. If we want access to the moon, we have to get there ourselves! This contest is lighting the fire that will finally get private enterprise beyond earth orbit!
MicroProbes
Our space program starts small, with UP Aerospace TinySats, launched to over 100km into space, testing technologies we will use to develop MicroProbes that will go to the moon and to near earth asteroids.
