Concerning the google prize for landing on the moon trekking 1200' and
taking pics. Lets play fast and loose with "Land". How about a
rolling impact? How about a direct shot to the moon with a solid fuel
rocket to slow it down just prior to impact and then inflation of
airbags. As it rolls across the terrain it takes pics. This could be
very low mass.
