Just checked up on Lansdorp's net worth and the latest estimate is down to a million or so. What he got from Ampyx I assume. Mars One burnt more money than it ever got through crowd funding. If it was a scam, it was one of the most poorly executed ones in history. If it was honest, it would not be significantly more retarded than many 'newly rich guy wants to start a space company' ventures in the past and present.

It must be a global endeavor, created by the will of people everywhere: People who believe in the future, who see beyond the constraints of small spacecraft and small space stations, for a small number of incredibly wealthy individuals. The Gateway will be built for those who believe that everyone: rich, middle-class or poor, should have the opportunity to visit or work in space.These people are the foundation upon which the future will be built. They are, The Gateway Foundation.Is it? Will it?Should I buy my Lottery ticket now?THIS IS A SCAM lol. You guys should really watch this. Also, support this guy and sub his channel. He barely has any subs and he puts out really amazing content!

It is apparently being built by a new company called "Orbital Assembly Corporation": https://orbitalassembly.com. On their projects page one of the images is a screenshot from Kerbal Space Program.Not clear what they're actually planning to build, other CGI shows modules very similar to the BA-330 but that company is defunct.
