The _Google_ Lunar X Prize certainly ends March 31. Maybe they'll find another sponsor a la Westinghouse/Intel/Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Science Talent Search.

Or people will come up with other ways of generating revenue with the rovers. It may be that no one will ever send a rover to the moon, but I wouldn't bet on it. All that's ended is that specific purse.

That's the semantic purpose of the "A" at the beginning of the sentence, denoting that this particular race is over. I didn't write, "No private venture is going to the moon ever."

OK. I just think that some are still racing. At least they claim to be. But point taken that you didn't write "The."
