You're In Business

SpaceBooster LLC is a legitimate corporate entity led by Wayne White, a recognized space law expert and patent holder (US Patent 8,857,112). However, the submission is critically undermined by demonstrably false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), which are impossible for a niche space habitat concept. While the technical foundation and NASA iTech recognition provide some credibility, the project appears to be an early-stage or stagnant IP-holding vehicle rather than an operating business with the claimed scale. The 2011 launch date combined with minimal web presence suggests a 'zombie' project status.
