    I'd have to use it first to comment on it, but thanks so far. Article makes a good impression.

    Just want to add that I prefer Ada over C++ despite it having less mind share, tools, and libraries because its productivity is so high. (Not saying that I dislike C++.) And, specu…

    First, congrats on launching. Second, "AWS GovCloud for ITAR compliance," can the USG access my data (EU company) then?

    Space burials [1] are a thing. When I investigated this, I found that in Germany the cremation industry is against separating remains, i.e. don't bury a part on Earth and another o…

    Other than that it's GTO, we didn't publish orbital parameters or spacecraft/payload specs AFAIK.

    Considering that there's little time left, your payload (and business model) has severe constraints. Unless you have something pre-developed and nearly ready to launch (e.g. at a u…

    I work with a former GLXP team (PTScientists from Germany). We left the prize in early 2017 and will launch in 2019. We're actually grateful for the GLXP. It opened doors, it did s…

    I work with PTScientists.com/ (a GLXP team until end of 2016). You keep launch costs low by ride-sharing (secondary payload). One revenue source is to sell payload space to third p…
