Moon Man: Get Your Mug on the Moon With the Lunar Legacy Program

September 14th, 2007 | Uncategorized

In addition to the Robotic Moon Race that X Prize announced yesterday, they are also going to start the Lunar Legacy Program. This will allow regular geeks like you and me to upload a 1MB image and a quick note for $10. The collection of notes and pictures will then be copied on to a 17GB DVD and be placed on one of the spacecrafts heading toward the moon trying to capture the X Prize. Hopefully the aliens that find the disc don’t use some advanced version of a cassette. [Wired]
