“The idea called Open Source is fast spreading into
non-computer sectors as well. For long, Open Source was equated to
GNU and Linux basically and the idea behind Open Source was never
really understood properly by many. Its all changing. The idea of
sharing, collaborating and having community involvement is no more

“The OpenLuna Foundation was founded to return mankind to the
moon through private enterprise. With Obama administration deciding
to scrap NASA’s moon mission once and for all, the role of private

“The OpenLuna Foundation seeks to return humankind back to the
lunar surface, first through robotic missions which will be
followed by manned exploration mission and finally this massive
project”
