Google Will Give Penn State $20M If Students Put a Robot on the Moon by 2015


John F. Kennedy once said, “Penn State students choose to put a robot on the moon. Penn State students choose to put a robot on the moon in the next four years and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of their energies and skills, because that challenge is one that they are willing to accept, one they are unwilling to postpone, and one which they intend to win, and because they’d like Google to give the university $20 million.” Or at least he said something like that.
