Three young Israeli scientists are competing for $20 million in the Google Lunar X Prize. The competition is for “privately funded teams to safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon and have that robot travel 500 meters over the lunar surface and send images and data back to the Earth.”
If all goes according to plan, by December 2012 a team of three young Israeli scientists will have landed a tiny spacecraft on the moon, explored the lunar surface, and transmitted live video back to earth, thereby scooping up a $20 million prize (the Google Lunar X Prize), revolutionizing space exploration, and making the Jewish State the third nation (after the U.S. and Russia) to land a probe on the moon. And they’re doing it in their spare time.
The three engineers – Yariv Bash (electronics and computers), Kfir Damari (communication systems), and Yonatan Winetraub (satellite systems) all have high-level day jobs in the Israeli science and technology world, and also both teach and study. They all had heard of the Google Lunar X Prize independently, before being introduced by mutual friends who, as Yonatan puts it “thought we were all crazy enough to do it, so we should meet each other.”
The Israeli scientists are operating non-profit and “any winnings will be invested in promoting science among Israeli youth.”
If the Israelis’ robot does make it to the moon first, the Muslim world may have to rethink their crescent moon symbol.

The Muslims will claim that it is part of the umma because Mohammad and his horse visited there.
I want them to paint the surface of the moon into a giant Prophet Mohammad cartoon visible to the naked eye.
Compare this with the 2 muslime innovations that I can think of, suicide belts and flying planes into buildings.
Especially if their robot plants a giant Israeli flag.
Israelis will drive the Muslims nuts if they make it there first with their robot!
Manned ships should be going to the moon asap – but this robot contest is a good start.

@ JW….if this is true:
Guardian asks if Florida pastor is responsible for Afghanistan murders over Qur’an-burning, 60% say yes
And those 60% are the vanguard of the death of the free West.
I don’t believe in burning the Qur’an. I believe in reading and understanding the Qur’an. But Terry Jones is not responsible by any rational measure for the murders in Afghanistan. Provocations are provocations, but we are in control of our reactions to those provocations. If someone called a freedom fighter an Islamophobic racist, the freedom fighter could try to reason with him — or he could kill him, or kill someone else — would then the person making the charge be responsible for the murders that the freedom fighter committed? Of course not. And Terry Jones is not responsible if Muslims choose to react with irrational violence over his burning of the Qur’an.
Western governments, meanwhile, should in the face of this irrational violence be defending the freedom of expression and explaining its importance. Instead, they will probably kowtow. Like the 60% of Britons voting for dhimmitude and self-censorship in this Guardian poll. Slaves choosing slavery.
Then who is responsible for this:
Beginning at about 10 p.m. eastern on the night of March 30, casualty notices from the Pentagon began filling my inbox. In all, at least six U.S. soldiers, all serving with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), based out of Kentucky’s Fort Campbell, were killed on March 29 in Afghanistan’s Konar province. The families of the fallen have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since the e-mails started pouring in.
When I mentioned this last night on The Unknown Soldiers Facebook page, the online community, while universally supportive of our troops and their families, also demanded answers from the national press.

Obama condemns killing of UN workers in Afghanistan
Published: 04.01.11, 21:42 / Israel News
The United States strongly condemned the killing of up to 20 UN employees in an attack in northern Afghanistan on Friday, saying there was no justification for the murder of innocent people.
“I condemn in the strongest possible terms the attack on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan today,” US President Barack Obama said in a statement. “Their work is essential to building a stronger Afghanistan for the benefit of all its citizens. We stress the importance of calm and urge all parties to reject violence.” (Reuters)
