Yeah, Those rules need to tightened up considerably. Any Heli could
do it. I suspect he means "in an airless environment". But let's not
tell him. He leaves it that way, somone will be instantly rich as
soon as the rules are published.

Still doesn't seem too difficult. NASA already has all the pieces.
I imagine there's a "trip to the moon" clause in there somewhere...

The rules were on the web page, a couple of weeks back when this thread first
appeared. There was a prohibition (can't remember the exact wording) that would
prohibit any sort of aerodynamic lift.

Gotta say I'm not too fired up about this one. The world needs a simple,
low-cost way to orbit for manned vehicles...not a moon buggy.
