Mmmm, very interesting points to think about. The priority of space exploration is always a topic that comes up. Although I don't think I've heard the argument for focusing on DOGS (Design of Great Settlements). :) DOGS vs CATS, ha! I think what I'm trying to do with https://spacehackers.club https://spacehackers.club is to get more folks interested in hardware/software problem-solving in the context of what may be pervasive in the coming decades, which is increasing the human reach into the solar system. Your post here has me thinking about how I might categorize things on this list: https://github.com/spacehackersclub/awesome-spacehackers https://github.com/spacehackersclub/awesome-spacehackers Maybe more DOGS related resources? Would love contributions and further discussion about what focus should be.

Thanks. A couple resources to maybe add: http://www.islandone.org/MMSG/aasm/ http://www.islandone.org/MMSG/aasm/ http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2017/12/space_isn_t_a_void_it_s_a_canvas_for_human_imagination.html http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2017/1...

Some ideas on making groups work well that I've collected (often easier said then done): https://github.com/pdfernhout/High-Performance-Organizations-Reading-List https://github.com/pdfernhout/High-Performance-Organizations... A group I was involved in from 2008: http://www.openvirgle.net/ http://www.openvirgle.net/ I had some other links here (an archive of the OpenVigle wiki from 2008) but some are out-of-date: http://oscomak.net/wiki/Main_Page http://oscomak.net/wiki/Main_Page Another group maybe of interest (but no recent posts): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenLuna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenLuna I'd encourage you to explore links with the maker movement. That is sort of what became of the 2008 OpenVirgle effort -- at that time, it seemed to make more sense to think about the early maker movement and "Open Manufacturing" because increasing that capacity was a big win for everyone in both the short-term on Earth and long term in space. http://openmanufacturing.net/ http://openmanufacturing.net/ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmanufacturing https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmanufacturing
