Hockey.
Most countries dream of sending astronauts to the moon. And then there's us.
CBC.ca reports that "A group of Canadian space buffs wants to make a hockey puck boldly go where no hockey puck has gone before: the surface of the moon. The Vancouver group is one of 29 teams from 17 countries competing in the latest race to the moon: the Google Lunar X Prize, an effort funded by the web giant to encourage commercial space development. Teams on four continents are trying to land a spacecraft on the lunar surface before the end of 2015 in order to win a chunk of the $30 million US in prize money."
The US sends Neil Armstrong, Russia sends Yuri Gagarin and we send a frozen chunk of rubber.
