16. Do-It-Yourself: Space
Our goal is to make exploration
as easy as downloading 3D
designs to be printed, milled,
& otherwise assembled into
functional exploring vehicles
and structures!
Incentives include money, access to space, to facilities
Information Sharing includes licenses, access to patents, methods, open sourced code and designs
Inspiration means continue sharing of all our successes.
