Grassroots Space Program on Kickstarter

CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The mission of Space Operations, Inc. ( SpaceOps ) is to launch people into orbit from the U.S as soon as possible. "Our ECLIPSE spacecraft is based on the proven Gemini design that NASA flew back in the 1960's" said Craig Russell, founder of SpaceOps. The first step is to build the ECLIPSE flight simulator, using a Kickstarter campaign. The name of the project is; "ECLIPSE 2-seat orbital spacecraft; first step: simulator."  The Kickstarter link to the project is:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spaceopsinc/eclipse-2-seat-orbital-spacecraft-first-step-simul?ref=category

After the successful completion of this project, a follow on campaign will focus on building actual ECLIPSE spacecraft hardware. It's been almost 4 years since the U.S. has launched people into orbit. Some space experts say the current "spaceflight gap" could go on for several more years. The fact is nobody knows for sure how long it will last. "If you've ever wanted to be personally involved with a manned spaceflight program, this is your chance," said Russell. Let's orbit SOONER than later !
