Ok, someone needs to do this…. We’ve all seen the commercial, or read the blog article, by now… you know, the one where somebody attaches a camera to a weather balloon and sends it up into space. Pretty cool! Until they have to chase it down and find it. Well, that whole contraption needs to [...]
I strongly believe Space is going to be to the next generation what Computers and the Internet has been to mine. Not just because it will be more accessible thanks to the likes of Richard Branson or Elon Musk, but because it will be what people are talking about at the water cooler. Space is [...]
