Spacebridge has begun! I wandered into their meeting on my way to meet Todd Huffman, who happened to minor in rocket scientist and he had a lot to contribute to the group. I'll attend their next meeting and report more but from what I gather Spacebridge's first mission is to create a long-term enduring high-altitude balloon that can pain the Noisebridge symbol in the clouds above San Francisco.This is their opening statement.
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the hackerspace Noisebridge, our ongoing mission to explore strange (yet economically priced) new ascent technologies; to seek out new parts and new partnerships; to boldly go where no non-government-or-massively-industrially-funded-group has gone before.
Our inaugural meeting shall be at Noisebridge at 6pm on Sunday, 20th December.
(Administrivia: because this is the future, I'm going to attempt to minute the meeting in Wave. If you don't yet have a Wave invite but would like to help with the minuting when I inevitably get bored of playing with Wave myself (ie, after the first three minutes), ping me at dichro@rcpt.to)
