All correct, i was simply trying to point out that a simple cash prize

Ah, yes, I agree with that. I don't think the Commission was intending
this prize to be announced next year, but maybe 10-15 years down the
road, when commercial spaceflight is routine and the proposed lunar
mission would be a smaller jump.
