Kristian von Bengston's New Goal: The Moon

Kristian von Bengtson, co-founder of DIY manned space program Copenhagen Suborbitals (which he left in 2014) writes with this pithy plug for his newest venture: "This year, we (a great crew) have been preparing for the next adventure with a mission plan going public Oct 1. Go sign up and join the project at moonspike.com." (You may want to check out our video inteview with von Bengston; he's a person who gets things done.)

Before I "sign up" with my email address...

...can you at least give me a link to an "About" page? Maybe a paragraph talking about what you're expecting to do? It's a beautiful content-free single-page website, but come on, throw us a bone here.

Re:gets things done, eh?

People who "get things done" often are cowboys who disregard things like safety, reliability, employee morale, etc and many times are also bullies.
They are admired in the arena of balls-out capitalism because such tactics often produce good results over the short term at the expense of long term success. Of course these days a long term planning horizon might be a whole calendar year out, and the MBA's who run things don't plan on being around any particular company longer than that ... it's the end result of a decades long race to the bottom and I'm really not even sure we've reached it yet.

Premature much?

You cannot pretend to "Get things done" until you have achieved the promised milestones. Before aiming for the moon he needs to perform a manned suborbital flight to be taken seriously.
