Tony Spear discusses Lunar X prize

Tony Spear, project manager for Carnegie Mellon’s Google Lunar X Prize entry, recently engaged CMU students and faculty in a lighthearted and informative discussion about the competition.

“At Carnegie Mellon, understanding the problem and the approach to the solution is more important than the answer [itself],” said Spear, discussing his return to Carnegie Mellon after 46 years to join William “Red” Whittaker and his Google X Prize team.
