Moon Express Aims for Multiple Lunar Landings, Sample Return MissionBy 2020
"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. Yesterday, Moon Express unveiled design details for its lunar spacecraft at a hearing held by the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. The company is planning three missions to the moon by the end of 2020, with the ultimate goal of establishing a permanent station near the moon's south pole and returning lunar samples to Earth. Moon Express has revealed a number of spacecraft designs to help it achieve its various goals. The first up is the MX-1E, which is the small craft designed to launch on the Electron rocket and land on the moon later this year." See: http://www.popularmechanics.com/spac...sample-return/ |

Hard to believe there's a viable business model for this company. Thrill rides, vacation stop over, honeymood trip for the filthy rich. |

These posts do not reflect the opinions of my family, friends, employer, or any organization that I am a member of. since the super wealthy would benefit the most from the tax cuts, yjry would have more fun money |
