NG-LLC update... - RLV News

Photo Album: Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, Day T-Minus-Two - The Launch Pad - This is a different Launch Pad photo album from the one I indirectly linked to yesterday. It has over 90 photos. Many space prize personalities besides the X PRIZE and LLC team members are featured, including Andy Petro from NASA Centennial Challenges, Anousheh Ansari who funded a lot of the Ansari X PRIZE, and Dave Masten from the simarly-named LLC team from past years.

I'll try to update this later today.
