Congratulations Team STELLAR

It's not as easy as some have made it seem, but Dick Dell, our own Richard Dell, yes, Team STELLAR is announced as being among the latest round of qualifiers eligible to compete for the Google Lunar X-Prize.

Let's hear a round of applause! Congratulations, and God Speed!

As neighbors in the physical Universe, and also "Super-positioned" with Team STELLAR vicariously here on this Forum, the self-described "gray beards" of Lunar Pioneer, LLP (not in the competition) all send their best wishes to our latest Local Heroes.

We should try to get together sometime to discuss Stellar and follow-on projects to the competition for developing Lunar Commercial ventures. Your query about neutron sourced detection systems is interesting, as we have access to a unique IEC neutron detection system per our partner, George and NPL...

Something I would prefer to discuss in face-to-face conversation- online communication is far too insecure for IP discussions- the sophistication of Counter-industrial espionage techniques has increased substantially since Titan's Rain a few years back.; ▶ Reply to This

Yes, the Elder mentioned something about getting together this weekend, which might work well for me. All the Principae are traveling to the state Convention in Greensboro. I'll be more or less stranded in Raleigh, so you might have a captive audience, as it were.

Hopefully I won't waste tomorrow in some technical journal, look up and discover the day spent. At least I'm not in road construction, baking may sweetbreads in this heat. Mercy!; ▶ Reply to This
