Can open source guide a moon mission?

| "I work at a privately funded, open source,
| manned, return to the moon mission â Yes
| really, and Yes, we really are going to put
| man (and woman) back on the moon. Since we
| are open source, we want all of our tools to
| be, too. What we are looking for is CAD
| software that we can feed into Blender (or
| the like) to do 3D modeling with. Many of the
| engineers have tried working with Blender and
| Art of Illusion, but have not been pleased.
| They want to just draw the parts, then feed
| them to the art people who will run them
| through the 3D modelers for videos,
| illustrations and such. What is your
| preference?"
