To all those who have been following our team and the X PRIZE competition, we regretfully announce that Quantum3 (Q3) has decided to withdraw from further participation in the Google Lunar X PRIZE.

After a few repeats of this behavior every time a hungry monkey tries to snatch a banana the other monkeys attack him. A week later the zookeeper replaces a monkey with a new hungry monkey who immediately tries to snatch lunch. To his shock he's attacked by the other

I deeply regret that I was unable to join my colleagues, Paul Carliner and Liam Sarsfield, at the February 21 event where details of our company's and nine other teams' efforts to win the Google Lunar X PRIZE were publicly announced.

I was reminded of the private sector's role in space exploration when I attended the Goddard Memorial Dinner in Washington last week.
