The birth of the c-base Open Moon group took place at the c-base, a well known hacker-space in the former east side of Berlin, not far away from the place, where a certain Wernher von Braun and his colleagues made their first rocket experiments. It always has been a collecting point for all kind of technologically fascinated and versatile people, like computer specialists with a soft spot for science fiction or hardware hackers who loved to solder their antennas themselves. Nevertheless, shortly after the announcement of Neven Dološ at a regular meeting of the c-base board to take part in the GLXP, quite a lot of 'aliens', like non-members are called by c-base members, joined the team, so that we have now a quite good mixture between c-base locals and external experts. The actual team consists of men and (a few) women from all professional areas, like physics, business consulting, web-development, aerospace engineering and so on.
