The recce riders planning the Long Ride To Freedom, were hit by severe wind today and decided to take the day off and get some good rest in.
In the meantime, we wrote to SpaceX today asking them to keep an eye on the Decentralised Sustainable Innovation Village progress we’re going to build. With a hopeful yes, the talks we will deliver at the schools will get the kids excited about being identified to go work at SpaceX.
