Google in the Moon
Google is teaming since september 2007 with the X Prize foundation to launch a commercial race to the Moon with a $30 million incentive. To win the Google Lunar X PRIZE, a team must successfully land a privately funded craft on the lunar surface and survive long enough to complete the mission goals of roaming about the lunar surface for at least 500 meters and sending a defined data package, called a “Mooncast”, back to Earth.

0n FT Predict (Financial Times Predict), the games are openned. The Google Lunar X Prise to be won before 2012 can be bet on or off. It is a volatile value.
A quite different subject than the usual prediction games of FT.com like the pakistani national election date or the possible US + Israel Air Strike over Iran prediction date for 2008...
Google Moon already exist. Images are from the NASA, as well as for Google Space. But if you look for Google Lunar, everything is not ready.
If interested, you can join and apply for a job on the moon, at he Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering (GCHEESE) !
By Locating a research and technology center on The Moon (Googlunaplex), Google engineers will be able to experiment with an entirely different set of parameters and conditions.
