Science Channel, Discovery Channel turn Google Lunar Xprize mission to moon into a reality TV show
Google’s $30 million dollar lunar race will be getting its very own TV show courtesy of the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel. The show will focus on the teams competing for the Google Lunar Xprize.
The new moon race ignited by Google's Lunar Xprize contest continues to heat up. The Science Channel and Discovery Channel are jumping onto the bandwagon with a new reality TV show that will focus on the Xprize contestants.
The Google Lunar Xprize is a landmark incentive-based prize with the goal of finally landing a private spacecraft on the surface of the moon. With a prize worth $30 million, this Xprize also is the largest incentive program of its kind in the history of science.
Teams from various universities, academic institutions and private companies will compete to design, build, launch and land their lunar crafts on the surface of the moon. Moreover, the teams' lunar landers also need to travel a distance of 500 meters in the moon's atmosphere, below the moon's surface or on the moon's surface itself. The deadline for accomplishing the requirements is Dec. 31, 2015.
