Art On The Moon

The X Prize foundation and the search giant "Google" has put out a challenge for private companies to create a space vehicle that can land on the moon and perform a few tasks while it is there.
I have written the chairman of the foundation, Dr. Peter Diamandis, and suggested that they might want to consider requiring the landing craft / rover to create a very simple art drawing as "one" of those tasks.
My design would consist of a wiggly line that turns into a circle that then continues on towards other goals or other tasks required to claim the $30million prize.
My design represents  "The creation of life".
The idea of mankind advancing from cave walls to the surface of another celestial body might capture the imagination of people around the world and give us all hope that we are capable of beautiful dreams.


Please support this idea by writing Dr. Peter Diamandis at the following address.
