Re: 1000Planets.com - Cool company with big dreams!

1000Planets is an internet based company who's goal is to eventually colonize 1000 planets. It's kind of a neat company to work for, because almost all work is done over the web, through the forums or email. That means that you can work on designing a sattelite with a team from all over the world.

OK, this is starting to sound like a recruitment brochure. Any comments?

The address is www.1000planets.com

The site itself is "currently undergoing renovation". Its there, but it looks and reads like it was written by college students. The message board has better information on the company.

Their colonization goal is rather long-term, but one of their short-term goals is to build an orbiter that would help move sattelites from a low orbit to a geostationary orbit.
