Wouldn't you need to have an alumnus organization to canvass for funds, to establish endowments to help bring about the future growth of itself? In that case wouldn't the University need to have a name for the endowments to be attached to? I know a name that has an acronym that is there for the taking. How about this, The University of Space Science Research, or USSR for short? I think it'd hold up in the courts!<br /><br />Each of the colonists could be enrolled students. Some in the College of Solar Power Generation Enguneering, Some in the College of Domestic Sciences in Space, some in the college of environmental defense and emergency repairs, et al, that you cited.<br /><br />A legitimately founded university could collect funds and safegaurd the principle from tax erosion even before the first habitat is constuted, Think of the moolah the Athletic department could bring in selling USSR swimming in space program sweatshirts!michael Hanlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647065632865927354noreply@blogger.com
