Notes
- Nasa wiki can only be accessed by Nasa. Need an external server
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meza
- https://enterprisemediawiki.org/demo/index.php/Special:Version
- There is an external server that kiwix should have access to that is roughly configured like the nasa versions
- We could create a second wiki on this server with the same config as NASA wikis but import space pages from Wikipedia for content

- Grants:
- There is a mini proposal already written by Daren and somewhat in progress. 10k. Currently in red tape
