The X PRIZE Foundation Appoints Alexandra Hall to Senior Director of the [b]$30 Million Google Lunar X PRIZE[/b]

Space Outreach Expert Will Oversee Largest Incentive Prize of All Time
PLAYA VISTA, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 11, 2011) - The X PRIZE Foundation announced today that Alexandra Hall has joined the Foundation as the Senior Director of the $30 million Google Lunar X PRIZE, a private race to the moon designed to enable commercial exploration of space while engaging the global public.
Hall brings a wealth of experience in both the private and public sectors in USA and Europe to the X PRIZE Foundation. As the co-founder and former CEO of Airship Ventures, a company that uses airships for passenger flights, science research and media purposes, Hall is credited with breaking new ground in aviation by bringing Zeppelin airships back to the U.S. after 70 years. Prior to her position at Airship Ventures, Hall served as the Executive Director of the Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, CA, where she managed fundraising efforts, developed exhibitions and led major programs with school district, university and agency partners. Hall has a degree in Astrophysics from the University of Leicester in United Kingdom and is regarded as a leader in bringing space and astronomy to the public, having authored several books for children and adults about space and hosted BBC Television's "Final Frontier."
"Alexandra has proven to be a leader and entrepreneur in the aviation and space industries," said Robert K. Weiss, Vice Chairman & President of the X PRIZE Foundation. "Her breadth of experience and passion for space exploration are key to attaining our goal of igniting this new and exciting race to the Moon."
Hall will draw on her professional experience and enthusiasm for space exploration to manage all aspects of the Google Lunar X PRIZE at the X PRIZE Foundation. As the largest incentive prize of all time, the Google Lunar X PRIZE aims to create a new era of lunar exploration that will be more participatory and more sustainable than the first moon race of the 1960s. The Grand Prize will be awarded to the first team to safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon, have the robot travel 500 meters over the lunar surface and send video and images back to Earth.
"I believe that solving today's global challenges requires us to think beyond that which is just outside our window," said Hall. "Potential solutions to the many problems close to home exist with the development of resources in space."
One of Hall's first responsibilities in her new role will be overseeing the Google Lunar X PRIZE Team Summit on July 11-12 in Mountain View, CA. The Summit will give the teams from around the world an opportunity to interact with representatives from X PRIZE Foundation, Google and NASA as they continue to develop their lunar rovers. Hall will play an integral part in the two-day summit where team leaders will also network, share ideas and work toward the greater goal of expanding space exploration.

The New York Times - Race to the Moon Heats Up for Private Firms

Now that the last space shuttle has landed back on Earth, a new generation of space entrepreneurs would like to whip up excitement about the prospect of returning to the Moon. Spurred by a $30 million purse put up by Google, 29 teams have signed up for a competition to become the first private venture to land on the Moon. Most of them are unlikely to overcome the financial and technical challenges to meet the contest deadline of December 2015, but several teams think they have a good shot to win — and to take an early lead in a race to take commercial advantage of our celestial neighbor.

Impossibile vincerla perchè la luna non è quella che noi vediamo in cielo.
