|Conceived initially for construction of a moon base, then delved into other projects based on coolness factor over practicality.  This is primarily possible due to the deep pockets and networking ability of the VSA leadership.  Currently headquartered at CSCC, with satellite offices at Wideawake, SRC Polygon, Canaveral and Matagorda Island.
