Help us by sharing what you want in a shared space

We have launched a new survey page to our website. We put together a small survey to find out what you would like to see in a shared space. As we continue to grow and increase our membership it is important to us to make sure we are on the correct path. We appreciate you taking the time to help us compile this data.

You can find the survey Here

Hackerspaces & Nasa article from opennasa.com

Rolando Quintanilla from opennasa.com wrote a great article about how hackerspaces could help Nasa.

“In order for space exploration to prosper and become cost-effective robotic technology will need to be created and adapted to develop infrastructure that is necessary for human space exploration and industrial exploration.  Concepts like those behind the RepRap, will be required to be further developed so that it is possible to automatically manufacture goods as needed in space.”
