not a lot of details about Project M. According to the America
Space website, Project M is a program being developed out of the
Johnson Space Center Engineering Directorate to put a lander on
the moon with a robot. Supposedly, the mission could be done
within a 1,000 days once the project got the go-ahead. It would
be different than other NASA projects in that there would be no
prime contractors, but just using “the best engineers in the
world to get the job done on time,” said America Space.
Cryptically, the website also says the project has been “go”
since Monday, November 9th, 2009. We’ll post more as it becomes
available.
