Finally, the much anticipated Google Lunar X PRIZE 2012 team summit video is up for your viewing pleasure!

The first team interview from the Google Lunar X PRIZE Team Summit is finally here! This year I had the chance to sit down with every team to discuss their progress, as well as their struggles, as they work towards completing the $30 million prize. Some teams have met unexpected challenged where others have overcome incredible issues and odds. We all love the robots and the technology but this is a chance for everyone to hear the individual stories and find out more about the human side of the competition. Real people using real science to solve real problems.

25 teams from around the world are currently building robots, rockets, and lunar landers to win the $30 million Google Lunar X PRIZE.

This year shows some impressive advancements in the rover designs, propulsion and avionics technology. Teams are stepping it up as the competition thickens and with all the recent headlining developments in space, the Moon does not seem so far away.

There comes a time in everyone's career when they no longer count as "the rookie" and for me that day has finally come. Yes, it's taken me 9 months but at long last we have fresh fish in the pond and it is my absolute honor to introduce them to you.

First up to the plate is Nathan Wong.

Every year the Google Lunar X PRIZE hosts a week long event called the GLXP Team Summit. It's a chance for all the active teams participating in the Google Lunar X PRIZE competition to get together, meet and greet, clarify rules and possibly share information with one another that could lead to major advancements in the overall effort to land on the moon.
