A group of enthusiasts is going to send a BlackBerry PlayBook to the moon

Earlier it was told about the team "Part-Time Scientists" , who are preparing a lunar rover running QNX for landing on the moon to participate in the program "Google Lunar X PRIZE". It turns out this is not the only team using QNX in this competition. A group of Canadians with initiative joined the project. They are going to send the BlackBerry PlayBook to the Moon.

The goal of the project is to build a lunar rover running the BlackBerry PlayBook and launch it to the moon, from where it should interact with the Earth. The work has just begun, but you can follow their progress on the Facebook page or on their website www.playbookmoon.ca .
