Fair Contests: A Comparison of Fact and Fiction in the X-Prize DomainCompare the video of the actual contestants in this year’s Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge 2007 held at the X-Prize Cup starting tomorrow and compare it to this fictional video: portraying the winners hoped-for by the sponsors of the recently announced Google Lunar X-Prize—a video that conforms to the standards for “ethnic diversity” in public relations images previously described here at MR. The disparity is made even more poignant by virtue of the fact that the Google Lunar X-Prize is offering an added bonus prize for maximizing the ethnic and gender diversity of the winning team. After all, its only “fair”. I find it rather interesting that the history of using incentives for private competition to spur space development is largely erased from Google’s Usenet archives, as can be seen by doing a search for my name in the space discussion groups in the years prior to the International Space University’s support of prize incentives. My posts from that era—frequently in conflict with ISU’s principles, are mostly (I’d guess something like 90%) missing from Google’s archives.

Posted by Voice on October 26, 2007, 10:27 AM | # What really scares me is how much knowledge transfer has been given to Foreign Nationals(especially Chinese) by European peoples to set in motion our own destruction down the road. I don’t know how many of the posters have sat down and really mapped out what the likely scenario will be as we move down the road to Anarcho-Tyranny (As same Sam Francis stated) We may be lucky to get Anarcho-Tyranny for our descendants and not something much worse.

In the Spring of 1986, NASA’s diversity-laden space vehicle blew up its multi-racial crew at Cape Canaveral. The late Professor Richard Feynman was a member of the committee which conducted the enquiry into the disaster and, despite presumed pressure, he refused to toe the politically correct government line, offering instead the following observation - “For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for NATURE CANNOT BE FOOLED”.
