+ | ====== Mission-Statement ====== | ||
+ | Apollo-NG is a mobile, self-sustainable, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Operation needs to be completely self-sustainable, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The whole Hackbase has to be powered by renewable solar/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | It also means, that all electrical systems in use, have to provide their designated function (i.e. lights, computers, navigation, station keeping, music, network, wifi, storage, soldering iron, oscilloscope etc.) but use only a fraction of the power a generalized, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Code of Conduct ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Working for the benefit of all mankind | ||
+ | - Being aware of free will of every single human being | ||
+ | - Making and keeping all research & results publicly available as free and open resources | ||
+ | - Using/ | ||
+ | - Working towards developing & using only open-resource hardware | ||
+ | - Practicing full transparency on the way we organize our work and resources we use | ||
+ | - Using moneyless budget and strongly supporting money deprecation | ||
+ | - Publishing attributions of all direct supporters and known contributors to the commons we use | ||
+ | - English language & metric system for all of the mission' | ||
+ | |||

+ | ===== Principles ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Efficiency ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The most basic principle of Apollo-NG is to always try to increase efficiency of any given process or technology. It can be generalized as a level of performance that describes a process which uses the lowest amount of input resources (power, time, labor, etc.) to create the greatest amount of outputs. | ||
+ | Simply put: Being efficient means reducing the amount of wasted input resources. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Sustainability ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Sustainability refers to the capability of complex systems to maintain themselves over time. | ||
+ | - In the context of human activity, sustainability has 3 aspects: social, economic and environmental. | ||
+ | - All three aspects must be met if something is to be considered truly sustainable. | ||
+ | * Anything which protects the environment by driving people into poverty, or something that supports the economy while undermining environmental services, will inevitably collapse, often with devastating consequences for people today and future generations. | ||
+ | * While nothing can be sustained forever, ecosystems, including those with humans, have maintained themselves for tens of thousands of years. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Resilience ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The capacity of social, economic, environmental or technical systems to absorb shocks and recurrent disturbances so as to retain essential structures, processes and feedbacks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||

+ | ===== RDF-Lab / Thinktank ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Research, development and prototype-fabrication is the primary driving element of non-biological evolution, defined as systematic, creative work which aims to enlarge knowledge and also comprises activities exploring new applications for existing knowledge. In essence, it's exactly what hackers do, only on a larger and less individual scale. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Therefore, it should be a common goal to support and encourage R&D worldwide. Instead, the "free market system" | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the moment, the major part of R&D activity worldwide is funded and controlled by companies which - by design - have to focus on annual growth and maximizing revenue rather than the development of cost-effective, | ||

+ | |||
+ | No matter what invention, after all, it were always people who created them. Let's start to hack the planet on this matter: Let's join together, to create things made by people, for people. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Share our knowledge, ideas, discussions and informational resources globally | ||
+ | * Invent, research, benefit from the results and share physical resources locally | ||
+ | * Link many different R&D facilities together to avoid overhead by re-inventing the wheel | ||
