Moon Shot, an upcoming nine-episode documentary web series being produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot that aims to tell the stories of 16 teams competing for the Google Lunar X Prize. First announced in 2007, the Google-sponsored initiative called on privately-funded spaceflight teams to aim to be the first to land a robotic spacecraft on the moon. The first team to complete a lunar landing, have their rover travel 500 meters, and beam back high-def images to Earth gets $30 million in prizes. Currently, there are 16 teams still scrambling to meet the December 2017 mission deadline, with two teams having already secured launch contracts to the moon for next year.
