Find Me on the Moon: NASA Lunar Navigation Challenge:

For Challenge 1, NASA is seeking an orienteering aid that will help the astronauts navigate on traverses away from the lunar lander and return back.
While there were similar devices available to the Apollo astronauts, NASA is looking for new and unique solutions.
If your solution is one of the best, you could be eligible for a share of the $15,000 prize purse.
For Challenge 2, NASA is looking for assistance in getting to and mapping the bottom of Shackleton Crater.
The design must work in the extreme conditions of the lunar south pole and Shackleton Crater, map the crater,
characterize and quantify what is in the crater, and send the data back to be used for future missions.
If you can solve this challenge by describing your design concept in detail, you could be eligible for a share of the $30,000 prize purse.
....
seems to be a good chance to get your product named in the media John L? anybody else?

For Challenge 1:
A simple drop of Bread Crumbs should work quite easily!!
A spool of thread with one end tied to the lander!!
As for Challenge 2: I will leave that for another to work on.
I will take the $15,000 in a Travelers Checks!! :-)

"could be eligible for a share of the $15,000 prize purse" is really
tacky. NASA is really in the entertainment business, at great expense
in dollars and lives.
divert an
asteroid before it makes us extinct, it will have paid off, big-time.
The dinosaurs didn't bother

At school we heard what happened to the Bronco-sore-arse*, they were all wiped out by asteroids.
