Google Lunar X PRIZE: Sponsorship Conference, VertiScooter, Tests, and More

I usually don't post about the Google Lunar X PRIZE teams announcements, since there are too many for me to keep up with, and by now if you're interested you should know to check there regularly. Every now and then I'll make an exception, though, and now seems like a good time for that.

A few weeks ago I mentioned the IEG Sponsorship Conference in Chicago with Peter Diamandis speaking. It looks like Lunatrex is there, too. They've also involved with a new product, the VertiScooter. Meanwhile ARCA shows some propulsion tests, Selene shows some rocket car testing, and more as you'll see at the Google Lunar X PRIZE teams site. Here's a cut-and-paste of the recent post headings:
