OpenLuna – open source moon mission
This has nothing to do with OpenOffice.org directly, but it’s one of the most exciting open source projects I’ve heard about.
The OpenLuna Foundation seeks to return mankind to the lunar surface, first through robotic missions, followed by manned exploration, culminating in an eight person permanent outpost, and to do all of this in a way that it is accessible to everyone. Our research and technology will be open-source, we are privately funded, and one of our specific goals is to reach out to the community and educational systems to spread interest, enthusiasm, and involvement.
Yes, I joined, you bet. Makes me nostalgic for my NASA days, though of course that was government funding and got cut back. I’m an enthusiast for non-government projects and have been for many years.

Thank you for your kind words, and support.
And, as you may have guessed it, the OpenLuna.org name is a direct rip of the OpenOffice.org name – So, This community has already helped a bit. Thank you!
