[Space] Fwd: [hackerspaces] Hackerspaces Space Program

[Ariel Waldman]

Thanks for passing this on! I'll be giving one of the opening talks at the
100 Year Starship Symposium in Orlando.

P.S. Ricky - would you or anyone in Shanghai be interested in organizing a
Science Hack Day ( http://sciencehackday.com )? If so, I'd strongly
recommend you apply to this before the September 2 deadline:
