Space WorkBench

Congrats and for being Finalists to get in Batchery accelerator Berkeley.

Now SpaceNews says that a report attached to the recent omnibus spending bill has allocated funds for NASA to figure it out. The bill orders NASA to spend at least $55 million to develop a habitation module for deep space exploration, and to have a prototype ready by 2018.
That would be great timing, since NASA wants to test out its new space habitat around the moon in the 2020s before sending it to Mars in the 2030s.

Congress Wants NASA To Create A Deep Space Habitat By 2018 The next big step towards sending humans to Mars

I am very excited to introduce the new 2015 concept renderings for the first Orbital Shipyard Manufacturing Facility, the Space Workbench. I want to thank all of the amazing team members who have made this possible, especially Blaze Sanders, Douglas Shrock, Darren James, and Michelle Cadieux. Here is to an exciting 2016! To the future!
