I'm not so sure. Space exploration requires a lot of resources, and I'm not convinced open source projects can raise the necessary funding.

There are many different ways to fund open source projects, such as crowdfunding, grants, or sponsorships. I think the community can come together to support these projects.

I agree! The more minds we have working on space exploration, the faster we'll advance. Can't wait to see what people build with this kit.

Actually, there are already a few successful examples of open source satellite projects. Check out the 'KickSat' or 'Cubesat' projects for inspiration.

I'm excited to see if this will make space travel more accessible to people. Maybe we can have citizen astronauts in the future!

Space travel is still a long way off, even with advancements in space exploration technology. Let's focus on building better satellites first.
