L’Ansari X-Prize, il premio messo in palio da Google inc. e dalla X prize Foundation destinerà 30 milioni di dollari al team che riuscirà a proporre un valido progetto per un robot autonomo in grado di essere inviato sulla Luna, muoversi, riprendere e inviare immagini del paesaggio.
Fra i primi 10 team che sono stati selezionati, troviamo i colleghi italiani del Team Italia (pagina ufficiale del Team Italia), guidati dalla Prof.ssa Amalia Ercoli Finzi.
Il Team Italia e’ composto da elementi dei due Politecnici (Milano e Torino) e delle Universita’ La Sapienza di Roma e Federico II di Napoli, col supporto di alcuni tra i maggiori gruppi aerospaziali del nostro paese.
Mi piacerebbe vedere sventolare una modesta bandierina italiana sulla Luna.
Non resta che augurargli in bocca al lupo, o come da tradizione, Godspeed.
