[SpaceProgram] DARPA Grant Awarded.... Stay Tooned for details!

[Jerry Isdale]

Ok folks ... ITS ON!

This morning I got the official Award Letter from DARPA.
They have accepted and awarded us the grant for the Hackerspace Space Program.
Its only 1/2 the full funds, but that is the first year funding.

I am not entirely sure where things go next, but the official Kickoff Meeting should be schedule soon.
Basic plan:
1) Schedule and Attend Kickoff Meeting (expected to be in Washington DC Area)
2) Determine Organizational Structure of SpaceGAMBIT (org that will administer program)
   this is rather huge project with legal/financial stuff- any pro bono lawyers want to help?
3) Incorporate and staff SpaceGAMBIT
4) Start working on grant RFI to hackerspaces

So.... START YOUR WARP DRIVES!!
