The US Goverment either the sentate, Jr or Congress has given a private company the right to send rocket loads of post cards, time caps' and other crap to the moon, despite it being a list world treasure!!!
IT has no right to make such desion as the moon is not theirs, it would be like me selling mount Russmore to Japan.
What this company about? It about money it has stated itself that it has not sciencific intreseted in the moon it just out to make a quick buck!
The companies name TransOrbital, their own statement about this trip:

The 2001 Trailblazer spacecraft's primary missions are to return HDTV video and other multimedia content from lunar orbit to market as commercial products, as well as the delivery of both personal and commercial cargo to the Moon.
