This week we bring you team videos from a European team, Euroluna, and a U.S.-based "Hopper" team, Next Giant Leap. Team Eurolunahas members in Denmark, Switzerland, and Italy, and plans to start testing some hardware in space this year (their CubeSat is currently scheduled for launch in May 2011). The team emphasizes not only the importance of creating commercial solutions to space exploration, but also having a bit of fun while we're at it.

Team Next Giant Leap recently made headlinesfor their successful fundraising efforts, and we're sure that you'll hear much more from this team before the year is out. NGL is taking a lunar hopper approach for navigating the lunar terrain, rather than the more traditional rover design.

Best of luck to both teams in 2011!
