Ten Lunar Lander Challenge Teams

Ten teams in Northrop Grumman - Lunar Lander Challenge - RLV News - Four of the teams want to remain anonymous. Five are from last year, and five are new. Of the six identified teams, I recognized 4 from last year, which I guess means 1 from last year wants to remain anonymous.

Jon Goff from Masten Space Systems has an important question in the comments.

I'll try to get the new teams on the LLC side bar section, which is now a mixture of teams from different years (but so is my Space Elevator Games section).
