Getting to the Moon is no mean feat – but one company wants to prove it can be done on a budget. Called Moonspike, the organization has today announced its ambition to send a tiny payload to the lunar surface. The company is seeking seeking $1 million (£600,000) of seed funding on Kickstarter and is hoping that it can inspire others to reach for the cosmos.
