Yes, a lot of the core team has been working with Kepler Shipyards to get some of the projects and tech commercialized.
Also note, Open Lunar is a different projects that the OpenLuna team consider a fork of their project. Mostly because the OpenLuna team has pitched this idea to many, if not most of the Open Lunar team.
Yes, they ripped us off, but we still wish them well.
This is not an official statement by the OpenLuna foundation...
and, FWIW, I won't mod AC postings.

The other bane is running into business people who think they are far more important than the actual creators and who try to trick if not flat out steal it from the actual creators.
The difference between billboard or magazine ads and software ads? Billboards and magazines can't directly write to your brain!

Ok, Because I have zero idea what Immodium does, (other than whet it is labelled for-) WTF? Why? What?
Unfortunately the approach for venture capital is "high stakes on good odds" -- you might lose a million, but you might make a hundred million.
Fuck that! All I EVER see out of VCs these days is "Hmm, You have a $100M Idea here, OK, I agree with that. I also see that you only need $750K to make it happen. and $250k to do the rest of the initial fund raising. Tell you what, Here's $250K, But I want you to pay the $25K upfront that it will cost me to do my due diligence, and I want 51% of the company, and I want you to assume all the risk, and I want your house as collateral just in case."
No one is willing to take ANY risk any more - unless it's with someone else's money.
Non-sexualized nudity with genitals not emphasized or even visible does not exactly qualify as porn. For instance, a painting of a mother bathing a small child is not kiddie porn.

Mrs. Vassilyev is said to have given birth to 69 whelps, and of course, there is Ismail Ibn Sharif who sired 860!
I wish I could mod this "Oh! WTF!"
Unfortunately, people on this site that specializes in technology, don't actually believe that generational spaceships are possible. Either now or in all of our future timeframe.
I tried to make a similar argument about 2 months ago, and got nothing but grief for postulating such an idea.
Not true, there are many people who believe generational spaceships are possible, in the near term. The problem isn't the tech, the problem is the same for
Who's going to pay for it?

OK, Will someone explain this to me?
Well, reason #1 would probably be a massive class action lawsuit that would destroy the coveted relationship that these companies have with their user base.
Class actions won't mean shit when there's enough {bribe} money on the other side. (Sony winning most of them for example. http://www.groklaw.net/article...)
And, based on consumer sales, not much of anythign will do anythign to these companies. All we can do as consumers is keep a ready supply of lube around.

This isn't the first time people have wrongly announced this either.
If you ever have extended occupancy a computer geek, and 8 lbs of discretionary cargo, there will be a game server on the moon. Maybe a few more pounds if you need your own power source.
Http:\\OpenLuna.org will bring them there when they build their outpost. http:\\Keplershipyards.com is already planning on integrating "Recreational software" into the computers that they are building for OL to run the outpost and to integrate into the suit. Since the suits have VR and remote control consoles for the rovers, (using VR gloves and such) AR full-body COD anyone?
According to Stephen Braham This piece misinterprets the research. There's pretty much zero chance that Sag A* is a wormhole (and, given that I did my PhD on them, I'm biased to wanting wormholes)! The paper is about how you'd know if it was, and not on any evidence that Sag A* isn't a usual accretion-formed BH.
