Revolution, Not Evolution
Check out this post from I, Cringely . The Pulpit | PBS:
A couple months have passed since I announced Team Cringely, my plan to win the Google Lunar X Prize by landing a rover on the Moon and driving it around. This week the first of the GLX contestants formally registered with more to follow, including Team Cringely, so it would seem that an update is in order. Mostly, though, I want to cover what has emerged as the primary motivation behind Team Cringely, which is literally preserving the entire idea of going to space, an idea that -- at least for America -- is near death.

Now I've been reading Cringley for a long time, but I hadn't had him figured for this kind of thing. I almost thought it was a joke, but if you read the whole post, it doesn't sound like it!
