"Last month, Popular Mechanics covered the exciting prospect of
the first ever commercial moon landing, which could launch by
December 2017 if everything goes according to plan. That mission
involves Moon Express, a company that hopes to build a number of
commercial lunar landers, and Rocket Lab, a launch vehicle company
that recently conducted its first flight test of the Electron
rocket.


Hard to believe there's a viable business model for this company.
