Description: Join us to Hangout with Google Lunar XPRIZE team Italia! The ambitious Italians have not only created cool ‘spider’ Moon robots for the #GLXP , they have also worked on the drill for the famous Rosetta #CometLanding ! Come hear how they’ve followed their dreams—to the Moon, comets, and elsewhere—and positioned themselves on the forefront of space exploration.
Overview: A global team of scientists and engineers are all working toward constructing missions to land on, travel across, and send video back from the Moon. With this new Google Hangout on Air series, we will introduce you to the men and women behind each of these planned missions and bring you all the latest developments from the +Google Lunar XPRIZE.
