Some guy said climate change probably won't kill everyone, and some nerds are freaking out. Whether geeks with billions or governments with legislation, neither Bill nor bills are going to save us. We need to cool earth, build nuclear, and do all the other applying of science (aka technology) that we've done to make civilization thus far. Easy, right? Maybe not, but trying is certainly a better use of time than doomscrolling about the latest bill(s) drama.
This month, we fully caught up on Cooling Credit deliveries. Our median fulfillment time is 17 days and 21 hours from your order to our balloon launch. Thank you, and keep those orders coming!:)
Less progress on return to home: 2 planes came back, but they shed altitude far too slowly. We recovered within a few miles of intended landing site, along with video on one. A third attempt is in the air now and looking good.
We learned 6-micron calcium carbonate is easy to source, but takes longer than anticipated to arrive. It should be here within the week, and we'll get it in the air shortly thereafter.
We missed our sales target, but October was still our second-best month ever at $13,131. Whatโs working best? Deep conversations with smart groups. This month: Andrewโs interview with Liron and our launches at the Roots of Progress conference. If youโre organizing a gathering and want to learn how we will reverse global warming during our lifetimes, weโd love to come speak.ย
This month, we will:
-Achieve $15,000 in sales
-Trial local cooling
-Launch small balloons with 100+ new believers
Balloons Beat Blathering Bills,
Andrew & Luke
