The X-Prize – they say yes!

What could possibly go wrong?

So, the Robot fancies himself as Tom rather than Huck? Probably says a lot about him wanting to be just an ordinary boy. But, he needs the tearaway, imaginative, reckless Huck Finn to lead him to adventure.

Fortunately he has a bit of Huck inside him – in the shape of his multiple memory sub-systems.

Woof!

Maybe the princess robot will go to the ball moon after-all!

PS: The-Talented-One would want me to point out that there is another movie reference in there to tease you. Right in the first panel …

EDIT – Sorry, not movie reference ; rather cartoon reference.  It is a little difficult so a further clue is that the reference is in the first line!

We may be considerably out of date, but it is true there is an Ansari X-Prize that aims to get a privately funded robot to the moon worth some 30 million dollars.

Now only if we could invent a robot astronaut ….

EDIT: By the way I wonder which of you clever people noticed the reference to “A Trip To The Moon.” A classic silent-era film, loosely based on a Jules Verne novel, that spawned the most iconic picture of the moon:

Even more Kudos if you noticed the Triffid-plant in the window?  Go back to “Paradise Mislaid” from July 7th 2013 to refresh your RoboGeek knowledge!
