Archive(down) From the post: >>“In 2013, a dear friend dared me to build an advertising network using satellites in space. Being a child of the 1960s, the idea that running a space programme was possible for me was something I could not pass by. I was not interested in the advertising.” “That daring friend became my co-founder when we launched Magnitude.io, with zero science or engineering knowledge of how to do this. Fast-forward four years, and ExoLab-1 became our first mission to the International Space Station. With one lab running in microgravity 400km above the planet, we launched with a dozen Californian schools networked with Raspberry Pi–powered, ground-based labs.”
