-The mission of Apollo-NG is to be a small and mobile Hackbase, so that any joining Hacker or Hacker-to-be can work with others on exciting projects, where we all can share fun, food, resources, knowledge and experience.+Apollo-NG is a mobile, self-sustainable, independent and highly-experimental [[mission:start|Hackbase]], focused on research, development and usage of next-generation [[mission:tech| open technology]] while visiting places without a resident, local Hackerspace, so that any joining Hacker or Hacker-to-be can get the opportunity to work together on exciting [[lab:start|projects]] and to share fun, food, [[mission:resources|tools & resources]], knowledge, experience and inspiration. Obviously someone has to fly the Odyssey, so it also has to serve as a mobile, tiny habitat for a nomadic hacker: The pilot.
  
-It also operates completely self-sustainable, to prove that even today the technology exists, to actually live and work in a tiny, independent off-grid environment, with absolutely minimal power consumption but without losing considerable comfort. Due to its mobile nature, it is also a very demanding experiment to evaluate “green” technology. All of this is documented in the [[lab:|Lab]] and the [[mission:log|Mission-Log]].+Operation needs to be completely self-sustainable, to prove that today the technology exists, to actually live and work in a tiny, independent off-grid environment, with absolutely minimal power consumption but without losing considerable comfort. Due to its mobile nature, it is also a very demanding experiment to evaluate “green” technology. Everything is public and documented in the [[lab:|Lab]] and the [[mission:log|Mission-Log]] and also a great real-world, hardcore-testbed for the products, we have asked to get from our [[support:sponsors|Sponsors & Supporters]].

-===== Motivation =====+Scatter and spread widely, as though sowing seed. Promulgate extensively, broadcast and disperse to inspire and empower.
  
-For the first time, in the history of humankind, the invention of the internet has enabled us as people to educate ourselves and to communicate, interact and share knowledge amongst each other in near real-time. Those of us, who have internet access and truly want to learn and evolve, can do so now, no matter where we are, what color our skin has, in which country we were born or whether our parents were rich or not.  
  
-Globalization may have had its beginnings in the industrial and economic aspects of the world, but the internet linked formerly separate people into one globally interconnected human species, flying together through space on a spherical mothership, we call Earth. It's time to act accordingly, as one species, without borders, all kinds of //[...]ism's// and anything else, that tries to artificially cap our reach. 
  
-A lot of people have a feeling, that the world is "somehow not right" and also have a feeling that their personal way of thinking and acting differs a lot from what society at large considers "normal".  
- 
-If you can relate to that, know this: **You are not alone**

-Hackers all over the world have started to join together, building hackerspaces and fablabs, to build new open technology, that easily reaches and in some cases already greatly surpasses what //traditional// industry could offer. We share resources, knowledge and encouragement. Hackers are the engineers of the future and it's very important that our fruitful and free self-education is kept alive and without restriction, even though some "civilized" nations already deem education itself only a third-class "must have" and rather focus their resources on war, censorship and surveillance.
