Darwin One is a proposed project to develop a space mission without government funding or assistance. Its goal is to generate interest in the idea, develop a mission in public, raise funding and then successfully launch.<\/p>\n

It is loosely based on the failed Beagle 2 mission that developed a low-cost probe destined for Mars. While a failure the model was a good one and, with better oversight, a worthy starting point.<\/p>\n

What problem does it solve?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Space exploration is currently in the hands of governments, and as a result is often slow, bureaucratic and subject to the whim of politicians.<\/p>\n
