$5,000,000 can be earned with a nonmoving camera in the moon and same amount can be earned by finding water or ice, moving over 5km or taking pics of the abandoned lunar vehicles.

Interesting offer IMO. I think they're willing to break the conspiracy theory about lunar landings. :D

$30,000,000? hehehe what a joke - it costs more to buy a freaking commuter jet - who is going to be stupid enough to spend a billion to win 30 mil?

heh, 30 million would barely get the rocket off the grown let alone land a functional rover onto the moon.

What the hell are they smoking over at the Googleplex...

Are you sure?

Yes... even with the cheapest meathods... getting a new rocket developed just to send stuff into orbit would be roughly 100,000,000...

Stupid handwriting recognition thought 'ground' was 'grown'. Didn't even realize it. :oops:
