Team Leader's Quote
I like to think of Team Puli as the smallest prince, an emblematic figure of Hungarian folk tales, who continuously embarks on an impossible mission to prove his right to the throne. His example shows that with intelligence, honesty, endurance, some luck and help coming from various unexpected sources, there is no insurmountable obstacle. The X Prize Foundation has established inspirational grand scale challenges, including the Google Lunar X Prize, which can be easily looked at as real life counterparts of our fabular endeavor. The GLXP, with its irresistible attraction and ability to capture the imagination of the public, together with our belief that even the smallest of the GLXP family can win the prize, encouraged us to enter the competition. Remembering the then unknown pilot Charles Lindbergh who won the Orteig Prize and the hearts of many people with his unprecedented flight in 1927 - which, after all, sparked the aviation industry as well as later the X Prizes - we hope that our efforts to win the GLXP will be appreciated in Hungary and all over the world. With hard work, endurance, humility, perhaps a pinch of luck, we aim to go high, and we hope that many Hungarian people will look at the Moon differently in the future.
