I have just found out about this today and put it straight on my list.
SpaceGAMBIT
So an organisation that got money from DARPA to spend on supporting small makerspace projects and the likes related to human space activities and ambitions.
It seems the playing field for opensource space flight development is changing quite fast. It's only a matter of time before a "freespaceships" type organisation level is reached and we will be spending the current yearly budget of SpaceGAMBIT in a day on relevant science and engineering.
I am hopeful.
I noticed a recent announcement in the local hackerspace mailing list. I joined the discussion and asked some questions.
ReplyDeleteThe network is growing. :)
Things are getting exciting, though it has nothing to do with me ranting at the net and such.
