UMR's own "Moondust Miners" (aka Lunar Miners) got a mention in the September 2007 edition of Wired magazine. Ok, so they only mention the students as being from the University of Missouri, but we know the truth.
The tallest of the bunch, standing about 5 feet high, is a clattering assemblage of aluminum scoops mounted on a red conveyor. It represents a year and a half of work by 11 University of Missouri students, two of whom drove 30 hours to get the thing here. They're still scrambling to apply the finishing touches, slapping masking tape on the cups and adjusting bungee cords to keep it upright.
