I agree with the approach summarized. We have to play off of our advantages, and that's mostly having creative ideas and the willingness to waste time pursuing them.<font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:15px"><br>

That is to say we don't need to focus right now. We need to prove that hackerspaces are creative and productive places for innovation. We could do a FTL experiment if it was doable for 1-5k and had sufficient wow factor. Criteria should be based on achievability, and wow factor. One should ask ones self is this a low hanging fruit and are other people doing this. Spots lacking are closed cycle ecological habitats, food production, industrial and manufacturing processes, etc.</span></font></div>

Interesting! I'd say Part II, Milestones 1, 2, 6?<div><br></div><div>I would also like to draw attention to the tonnes of documents National Academies Press and RAND have on the topic of space.
