I have been reading the 2nd quarter report and i am wondering about the 38 GB of cataloged reference data. Are they or will they be made available here? How? You would probably need considerable bandwidth to make it available in the internet. Roli (discuss • contribs) 08:00, 18 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The part related to space is already online at Mediafire because when I started writing, it was about space systems engineering. The Seed Factories concept evolved out of that work, because hauling entire factories into space is too heavy.  It makes sense to bring a starter kit and build the rest from local materials.  Eventually I realized there is more need down on Earth for such factories, and also it is a way to build your rocket factory on Earth less expensively.  So my focus shifted to the work you now see.  A lot of the reference data are copyrighted books, so I cannot post them online, but a fair percentage are government reports or open-source books.  When I finish sorting out the remaining books (7.8 GB to go) I plan to add the ones I legally can to the online collection, and provide a list of the copyrighted books so people will know what data sources are being used in the project.  They can then go find the copyrighted ones the usual ways (Amazon, libraries) if they want to look at them, or give me feedback on better sources.
