Notas do Editor
- The X PRIZE Foundation is a not-for-profit educational institution…
- We got our start with the Ansari X PRIZE….
- Prize was actually claimed—big shock to the industry. Huge news story. Inspiring.
- And now the winning vehicle hangs in the Air & Space Museum, right in the Milestones of Flight hall
- The story was such a big deal, we got the ultimate signs of popularity—we were on the Daily Show AND we got the google doodle!
- Does anyone know what this plane is, or why it’s in the museum?

- It’s not even just maxims: it’s NUMBERS and statistics.
- But let’s go back to the Moon.
- … and the people of America
- And we did! We blasted off…
- We landed on the Moon
- And we walked around
- And drove around
- … and did science there … (that we’re still learning from today)
- A really, really big deal.
- Actually, we landed in a couple of places
- But how much of the Moon did we really see?
- But then we stopped. (Apollo 15 in Hadley Rille)
- But perhaps most amazing is just thinking about the people who experienced Apollo.
- Half of the world’s population wasn’t alive the last time we were on the Moon. Think about that! Half of the world’s population!
- There’s really only one problem with Apollo. It was SO LONG AGO! This was a top-of the line camera during Apollo
- … and this was a cutting-edge video camera
- And this is what the computers looked like. And the workplace!
- All of which begs the question…
