By way of quick introduction, I would not consider myself a space journalist, but I do consider myself a space enthusiast. I have the great pleasure to work at a place that I like to call Disneyland for Space Nerds: the X PRIZE Foundation. It's where I manage education programs for the Google Lunar X PRIZE.
