Google “XPRIZE” Program
Chapter 290:Google “XPRIZE” Program
"Google moon landing, Alphabet or will create a new pattern of human space exploration, a new era!"The front page of the New York Times.
“Man is once again heading to the moon, but this time it’s a company that belongs to the pride of the United States: Alphabet!!” the front page of Empire Magazine.
“Apple has fallen, can Alphabet take over the flag of the fight against XLous?”Agence France-Presse Global Hot Spot.
“The Umbrella Company may become a new paradigm for commercial space exploration, following Elon Musk’s space exploration technology company SpaceX.”The Wall Street Journal.
The days when quantum computers occupy the content of the technology circle are far away, Alphabet Umbrella has won the headlines of the world's major mainstream media.
A few days ago, Alphabet Umbrella Company announced a super heavy news at the press conference.
After 15 years, the ambitious Google, Xprize moon landing plan has been repeatedly postponed, and finally announced the end of the ticket jump, today, finally, really want to go to the moon!
The Google Moon Landing Program, a landmark initiative, will be the world’s first space exploration event initiated and organized by a non-state nature, which is groundbreaking.
As early as 15 years ago, in June 2007, Google announced its moon plan for the first time, which triggered the world's hot discussion on the moon again.
Google's lunar plan is led by Google, followed up by the German company Odyssey, and the German team of scientists and Google is now the google-lunar-xprize plan, that is, Google xprize moon landing plan, officially established in 2007.
In the past 15 years, Google has prepared too much for this male-bove project.In late 2007, the XPRize Foundation launched a technology competition for space exploration projects, and Google immediately sponsored and personally participated in the Xprize competition, aiming to promote the development of commercial space exploration, hoping to help its lunar landing plan.
Throughout the process, no government or country played any role, so to speak, it was entirely civil-sponsored.
I have to mention the Xprize Foundation.
The xprize Foundation was co-founded in 1995 by Elon Musk, Hollywood director James Cameron, Google founder Larry Page and Apple founder Steve Jobs, and many other tech tycoons and celebrity big names, such as Silicon Valley Iron Man.
The xprize Foundation is a global non-profit organization that organizes various science and technology competitions with the aim of promoting scientific and technological innovation and technological development for all mankind.To date, the XPRize Foundation has launched 15 projects in science and technology competitions, covering many popular frontiers such as new materials, aerospace, ocean exploration, and human genes.
In the space technology competition launched by the XPRize Foundation in 2007, Google received significant gains, in this technology competition, Xprize and Google asked the participating teams to complete an unprecedented task, that is, using a private spacecraft to safely land on the surface of the moon, and must complete a 500-meter flight on the lunar surface, and send high-definition video and images back to Earth, the winning team will receive a $20 million reward from Google, and an additional reward, if water is found on the moon, will receive an additional $4 million reward.In 2007, this was undoubtedly a high-priced reward.
Although Google's Xprize moon landing plan is ambitious, this time the space technology competition is only one part of the Google moon landing plan, can be said to be a technical reserve, but the difficulty is one after another, the project's competition deadline is set in the end of 2012, and then delayed to the end of 2015, the last time delayed to the end of 2020 to the end of the end.
As of 2020, the project plan's bonus from the original $2,000 to $70 million, although increased several times, but due to inflation, in fact, compared with 2007 $20 million, compared to the 2007 increase in the bonus is also due to inflation reasons, it is actually not much increase compared to the 2007 $20 million, compared to Google's bonus limit is also due to inflation.
The repeated hitting of the wall of the plan is enough to show that the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is very bone-like.But then again, the dream is always there, what if it comes true?
In 2022, the dream is within reach.
The Google Xprize Moon landing is an unprecedented international space exploration event, involving 16 teams from countries on all continents.
Google Xprize moon landing plan claims that its purpose is to stimulate scientists and entrepreneurs around the world to participate in the exploration and development of commercial space, the significance of its existence is not only the end of research and moon landing, Google claims that in the future it will usher in a new era of human space exploration.
In addition, it is worth integrating the participating organizations of the Xprize lunar landing plan, this international cutting-edge scientific and technological activity, and China has been "kicked out" again.
In 2007, the Xprize project, China was "kicked out" seems not surprising, looking back at the past major international joint science and technology projects in various fields, almost all of China kicked out.In the field of space exploration, the most typical is the International Space Station, even Brazil is involved in it, but China was kicked out, which was extremely angry and helpless for the Chinese people at that time.
But this did not stop the country and the nation's yearning for space exploration and attack pace, in the case of Europe and the United States on the technology of strict defense, she is born out of an independent road.
In today's world, the only space station in outer space has only one flag on its surface, and the "Sky Boat", which is more than 500 tons, is the pride and strong symbol of the country and the nation.
However, "Tianzhou" is not only Chinese researchers and astronauts, but also a lot of European and American members, as the world's only in-orbit operation of the very large space station, Europe and the United States and other countries want to engage in space activities and research, have to look at China's face.
Although China has announced that it welcomes major countries to enter the "sky boat" and contribute to the development of space exploration technology for all mankind, it must show sufficient "good faith", and it is impossible to let you in without the benefits.
Today's China is far from comparable to that of 2007, and the world's first has entered the arms of this eastern country.Today's China's influence and position in the world, both in the economy, science and technology and other major fields, has become more and more impossible to ignore.
More and more international joint projects, China's shadow is also in it.
In the past year, there has been a lot of news, Xprize Foundation is in contact with XLous and social overlord Facebook, hoping that its founder can join its ranks like other technology leaders in the world, to promote human scientific and technological progress to contribute a little bit.
However, for this rumor, Matrix Technology has not yet made any official response to this, think, if the xprize Foundation does not have the name of the industry boss, it will certainly be a little overshadowed.
With the approaching of time, Google's moon landing, the global vision has gathered under the umbrella company of Alphabet.
