With private space making headlines, it’s time for Google Lunar X PRIZE Roundup #21! This round will cover May25th-June 1st, and I’ll have one up early next week for June 1st-June 8th.

All the GLXP goodness from the days of May:

• Team Astrobotic presented at a NASA exploration workshop (and elsewhere), and an info-rich PDF ensued! Tons of imagery, technical/launch details, and a December 2012 launch date included :)
• Team Micro-Space has two of its CubeSats manifested for an October 29th launch with Orbital!
• Allan Herbert, co-leader of team JURBAN, was profiled by Politic365!
• Team ARCA posted a video journal on balloon recovery, as well as a slideshow on their presentation for the International Conference of Scientific Papers!
• The GLXP was featured on the HowStuffWorks blog :)
• The official Launch Pad blog posted three bits of cool lander news.
