A community of designers, engineers and artists.
We made some progress on the space program thanks to Steve (of rimstar.org). He made a complete apparatus for electrolysis. We learned a lot from it and it will affect our next steps.
I also flew my magnus glider but I’ve not got any pictures on that yet…
I checked the RSVP status for the meetup and there weren’t any so Doug and I decided to do some work on the Hack613 Space Program. As you can see we’re starting small.
We also did a wire wrap lesson.
We found out after the fact that Andrew was at the meetup location with his daughter.
We had the meetup in my office (and a bit in the lab). Doug and others gravitated towards all the books on the shelf…
The space program is taking form. We’ll be doing some fun launches within a couple weeks at the rate we’re going!
Steve (rimstar) was in with his autonomous eyeball which tracks motion.
People in our group are starting to talk about a space program!
We talked about an ambitious plan of going very high (18km) and also a series of lower height launches.
We were discussing some balloon launches with photography.
What do you think?
I suppose the first steps are to start to imagine the payload? How do we get the data back? Can we recover the payload?
