Alan Stern, former chief of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and a power behind the New Horizon mission currently on its way to Pluto, is joining the executive team of Odyssey Moon.
Odyssey Moon fielded the first team to take up the Google Lunar X-Prize challenge, but OM has plans that go far beyond winning the race to put a privately funded and operated rover on the Moon. It plans, in fact, to be a participant in the next phase of lunar exploration, and to turn a profit in the doing.
Stern will be an exclusive part-time employee, and will consult on OM's lunar science package.
