“Hacker space” sounds like a bad TV movie, but if the group behind the Grid Global Hackerspace (HG) achieve their goals, this could become a reality as we ring in 2055.
As first reported by the BBC, HG wishes to send their own satellite into orbit, which will be open and free of Internet censorship.
“HGG’s the goal is to provide the core infrastructure that is needed along the way. We want to understand, build and make available satellite-based communication for the people and all humanity hackerspace, “HG says on its Web site.
At this point, however, that effort is still in early planning stages. The Group has been working closely with the project constellation, a platform for aerospace-related projects that require intensive computing power, but beyond that, the organizers are in the mode of data collection.
