latest news CONFIRMS my SUSPECTS about the """Google""" Lunar XPrize

..

just five weeks after ( http://spacefellowship.com/Forum/about7639.html
) my doubts (and my post here) this news (
http://www.livescience.com/blogs/200...ams-with-nasa/
) confirms ALL my suspects about the """Google""" Lunar X Prize
( http://www.ghostnasa.com/posts/008moonprize.html ) correctness...

so (clearly) ALL other GLXP teams are (definitely) only the Odyssey
Moon's "sparring partners"

just remember that Google has several agreements with NASA and (also)
has rented (for long time) a NASA building and the space to build
another in two NASA space centers!

this kind of join venture means that Google (or a small and, maybe,
also non-american, GLXP team) CAN'T "compete" with NASA in the lunar
exploration, landing a rover on the Moon BEFORE the US space agency
and WITHOUT its logo!!! ...as I've already predicted (in my ghostNASA
articles and with several space forums' posts) over one year ago...

..

..

the REAL value of the GIANT advantage Odyssey Moon will have, ISN'T
the use of NASA hardware, materials, instruments, test machines, etc.
but the FREE NASA's KNOW-HOW (that is PRICELESS)

if (e.g.) they'll use $2M of NASA "things" and pay a $2M
"remboursement", it will never be the right price for the REAL value
of the know-how they'll receive developing its lunar rover in the SAME
labs, with the SAME tools and side-by-side with the SAME engineers
that have developed the Sojurner, Spirit, Opportunity, Cassini,
Phoenix, etc. !!!

the US government have paid hundreds billion$$$ over the last 50 years
to "build" the NASA's know-how about spacecrafts, spaceflights, space
probes, Mars rovers, landers, procedures, materials, software, etc.

and now, NASA will give away its valuable know-how to Odyssey Moon
(and ONLY to Odyssey Moon) FOR FREE

it's a $500+ million GIFT that Odyssey Moon NEVER can "pay!!!

surely, Odyssey Moon can't "pay" the NASA's know-how just
"reimbursing" the nuts and bolts (or the electricity...) they'll use
developing its rover in the NASA space centers!!!

it's really incredible that no one of the other GLXP sparring-partners/
teams did not PROTEST for the GALACTIC advantage that NASA and Google
are giving to Odyssey "The Chosen" Moon, or (at least) ask them to
have the SAME advantages, develop their rovers in the SAME space
centers and use the SAME know-how the NASA engineers may/will give to
Odyssey "The Chosen" Moon!!!

last, I've read in a comment to this news, that, also the GLXP rules
prohibits to all these "independent" teams to receive any kind of help
(money and/or know-how) from government agencies!

Wrong again

The agreement is with NASA Ames and they have very limited "lunar" nor
spacecraft know-how. So little, that LCROSS and Kepler were taken
away from them to be managed elsewhere

Sojurner, Spirit, Opportunity, Cassini, Phoenix were developed by JPL
and Lockheed Martin.

So the "the SAME tools and side-by-side with the SAME engineers" are
not available to Ames.

..

just read this:

"The MoonOne lander will be adapted from a nifty bit of hardware being
cultivated at NASA Ames - the Common Spacecraft Bus. I’ve seen this
equipment myself - and a dedicated team at Ames has been working
diligently on this multi-purpose gear, all made possible by Ames
leader, Pete Worden."

from this article:

http://www.livescience.com/blogs/200...ams-with-nasa/

Odyssey Moon will a "ready to eat" dish from the NASA Ames center
saving decades of research and hundreds millions of dollars!

..

..

latest news say that also the Senior LEGO Director Lewis Pinault has
joined Odyssey Moon:

from the article, we know that "He serves on the European Space
Agency's Visionary Industry Group Committee."

with the support of NASA, Google and (now) an ESA official, the
(former) "Google Lunar X Prize" ultimately become the "Odyssey Moon
[own] Prize"

Google/NOVA, DARPA and NASA are one in the same.
