Non Airship Inspiration

I really like this project 
There are a number of related projects that always inspire me with their relentless passion, creativity and practicality and theyremind me of this project.  So for what is worth

Open Materials - DIY Smart Materials

Open Structures - universal modular construction
http://www.openstructures.net/

Global Village Construction Set - the 50 machines you need for a civilization all open source
http://openfarmtech.org.nyud.net/w/index.php?title=Global_Village_Construction_Set

- interestingly they don't mention airships!

And JP Aerospace - Americas other space program - using airships

Welcome to the forum Mike. I didn't know about most of those projects. Maybe we can learn from other open source projects to improve our own project.
