    I'm not saying "open development" is not important but your message reads like its dismissive of people with different goals. I'm a developer, I might create some tool for my needs…

    You're right. I should've put "For the most part" before the last paragraph. When it comes to the moon landing or the ISS... Of course you can say that's because we're explorers. T…
