BBC News - Google-backed Moon robot teams confirmed →
The final line-up of teams competing for the $30 million (£18.5m) robotic Moon-explorer prize has been confirmed. The prize will go to the builders of the first robot to send back video as it travels over 500 metres of the Moon’s surface. Competition organisers hope to spur the development of low-cost robotic space exploration. The Google-sponsored Lunar X-Prize will be fought over by 29 teams from 17 different countries. Organisers believe that the competition - first announced in 2007 - could have a winner by 2015.

Great article. Too bad American cash can’t go completely to American citizen researchers and developers. Good luck to the contestants.
