Academy Award®-nominated director Orlando von Einsiedel, Executive Producer J.J. Abrams, Bad Robot and Epic Digital have joined forces with Google and XPRIZE to create a documentary web series about the people competing for the Google Lunar XPRIZE (http://lunar.xprize.org). The Google Lunar XPRIZE is the largest prize competition of all time with a reward of $30 million and aims to incentivize entrepreneurs to create a new era of affordable access to the Moon and beyond, while inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.This character-driven, emotional, awe-inspiring series of 9 short films will follow a selection of the teams currently racing to complete their missions. It will explore the lives of their charismatic, quirky members, the sacrifices they have made to get to where they are today, and crucially, what drives them on this incredible journey.
The $30 million prize will be awarded to the first team to land a robot on the Moon, explore 500 metres and send high-definition images back to Earth. All before the mission deadline of December 31, 2017.
The series, titled Moon Shot. was directed by Orlando von Einsiedel, who received an Oscar nomination for his 2014 documentary Virunga. J.J Abrams is executive producer. It'll be available from Google Play on March 15 and then on YouTube from March 17.
The XPRIZE candidates are a varied bunch ranging from IT specialists in India to father and son teams in a Vancouver bedroom. "It's not really just going to the moon," one hopeful explains, "going to the Moon is symbolic. It is about showing what is possible."
Google announced the XPRIZE in September 2007. From an initial pool of 29 qualified teams, only 16 remain in the running for the prize. The teams have already awarded $5.25 million in milestone prizes.
Two of the competing teams, SpaceIL and Moon Express, have already secured launch contracts from XPRIZE.
Meanwhile, HAKUTO and Astrobotic have entered into a partnership to share a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to the Moon. HAKUTO will then piggyback on Astrobiotic's landing craft to bring its two lunar rovers to the surface.
