This is one of the most awesome websites ever. I want to make one like it now, it wouldn't be hard.

[Tiecuando]

This is an awesome idea.

Like the exobiology, one pseudoscience like alquimia or psicology.

Fuck nuclear rockets, Sea Dragon is where it's at. Rockets you build in a shipyard, make 'em of thick ass metal, and launch 'em with insane margins. 550 metric tons to LEO. That's 1.2 million pounds. Or basically the weight of all American high government officials (all governors, senators, representatives, and judicial appointments, including only appellate courts of course).

From the Autonomous Astronauts:

In the latest step toward the militarization of space the DoD is putting a router into space for military communication up there.

Before they get theirs up there (they are planning on launch in 2009) we need to Raise the black flag high! For only ~$5000 we could put a micro-satellite in space. If anarchists on each continent commits to a satellite we begin an infrastructure for our earth-and-space bound friends to begin communicating without ties to land, sea, state or ATT.

The Ultimate Open Source Project indeed.

I was rather under the impression that it cost a lot more than that to run any sort of space programme. Do you have any sources referring to the economy of sending these micro satellites into space, and what - practically speaking - micro satellites can be used for?

The guy behind the microlaunchers idea has a site: http://www.microlaunchers.com/

He did a Google Talks presentation awhile back, it talks about the economics and the things you can do. Communication satellites are one, but they'd have very limited bandwidth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtTeG_HElNk

anyone think about launching rockets at Mars and Venus filled with seeds and spores for various extremophiles?

You had me at 'Anarchy in Space.' Lmao kick-ass title for a discussion.

But this does seem really interesting, if I had any money I'd donate towards it, but I don't.

Agreed. The Mars Trilogy were absolutely fantastic books. Have you tried Years of Rice and Salt by the same author?
