Last Sunday we got a lot of work done. The Mars Pod sections were constructed, the space elevator and climbers were half-completed, and lots of rocket parts were manufactured. We even got featured in the San Diego Union-Tribune. This week we’re going back to complete it all.
Join us! We still need all skill sets, from programming to power tools. There will even be pizza this time. Please RSVP to events@sdspace.org if you’re interested.
