[SpaceProgram] Fwd: Talk:Hackerspaces Global Space Program - HackerspaceWiki

I was in tech review for some gubmnt contracts for a while.  Also, I  
have passing familiarity with DARPA requirements.  I offer my meager  
help on this, too.
As I remember it, DARPA's mission is to foster tech growth and  
business growth.  They do not get involved in their funding efforts  
except to be sure the money they grant goes where it is supposed to  
go. (Fraud, etc.)  In general, whatever their grantees do with the  
research that is accomplished belongs to the grantee.  There are  
exceptions in their history and their charter may have changed since I  
last talked with them, over 8 years ago.  In any case, count me in.
