Exactly!

Anyone can do it!

'Space-technology' is about nothing more complicated than science and engineering

The Chinese can do it! The Indians can do it! -Heck, Even us Danes (remember: there's less than six million of us!) seem to be experimenting in it! (remember my 'baby steps'-thread!)

These days, where computing power is the least troublesome hurdle and the materials needed (such as card-board ) are available to literally everyone, there's no excuse to not try to get 'up the well'!
