Google Lunar X prize

Google has organized a Lunar X prize of $30million competition for the first privately funded team to send a robot to moon, travel 500m and send video and images to earth. http://www.googlelunarxprize.org/ First in 1960s there was a cold war between US and Russia about the mission of moon landing.Now the competition is not between countries, but between the famous companies. In future I think this contest will be become between the people.

When chips are chilled using an inexpensive can of air, the data were frozen in the place, permitting the researchers easily read the strings of ones and zeroes, out of the chip memory.
"Cool the chips in liquid nitrogen(-196C) and they held their state for hours at least without any power " Edward Felten a Princeton Computer Scientist, wrote in his web posting "
