Re: Why not team up with Copenhagen Sub-Orbitals?
Sounds like they've managed to put that acrimony behind them, publicly at least:
From here:
"We’re thrilled about today’s announcement from Moonspike, a new crowdfunded, professional, space programme, founded by Kristian von Bengtson and Chris Larmour.
Kristian was one of the founders of Copenhagen Suborbitals in 2008, but left us in March 2014. He’s still a close friend of the house, and lends his advice to us now and then.
The plan is to fly an unmanned rocket to the moon, where a small penetrator will land and leave a “memory vault” of customer-supplied data in the lunar surface. Initially, 7 people will be employed by the programme in Copenhagen, lead by Kristian as Chief technology officer.
4 of our members have joined the Moonspike organisation: René Olsen, Steen Andersen, Carsten Brandt and Flemming Nyboe. All will continue their work in Copenhagen Suborbitals as well.
We are very excited and happy about Moonspike, which will be one spectacular adventure. No doubt, we’ll see mutual support between Moonspike and Copenhagen Suborbitals, since so close bonds exist beween us. It’s also fantastic news for non-governmental space flight globally, and not least for Denmark that now houses a space programme more.
Go, Moonspike, Go!
Everybody at Copenhagen Suborbitals"
