Google offers prize to any company to put mining bot on Luna

[quote]Space exploration has long been about reaching far off destinations but now there is a race to exploit new frontiers by mining their minerals. Google has offered a $20m grand prize to the first privately-funded company to land a robot on the moon and explore the surface by moving at least 500 metres and send high definition video back to Earth by 2015. [/quote] I think it's fair to say Google is working for the future rather than for profit (But yes im aware they profit from this somehow) but it makes a change to people talking about doing something like this. What do you think about this? Could this jump start moon mining and possible bases on the moon?
