A month ago around January 10th we set out to irrigate two-thirds of an acre with beans as our focus crop. Come on and journey with us as we break down what it takes to irrigate beans as a first timer.

At km 36, I found an elite almost fainting, she requested for my water which I immediately gave her… only to realize that the next time I would be seeing water was 4 km away 💀 Luckily, at around km 37, a runner on the other side headed towards JKIA, was gracious enough to give me their water. I hope they did not suffer for it. A few meters later, someone asked me for the same bottle… and I just remember saying to myself, Woi, Tutafika lini… it was really bad! To the organizers of Nairobi City Marathon, if you are not going to allow our personal supporters into the course, increase water points and give people electrolytes!
I can officially call myself a Marathon Runner 🙌🏾 Today’s run was tougher than I had expected. I started on a high note and everything was going well until kilometer 10 when I noticed that my support system was missing in action. That meant no electrolytes, something that I wasn’t mentally prepared for! Having covered 30km in 1:55hr, the sub 3 was so close, but unfortunately, today was not the day! Things got really tough after the 30th kilometer, and despite efforts to hold it together, I had to walk from Kilometer 36 to kilometer 40, from where I gathered myself to the finish line! Many lessons have been learned today… and this has been a fair debut! From here, the only way is up!

The government will start selling non-personal data collected through platforms like eCitizen to generate extra revenue from information in demand by researchers, businesses and other organisations. Read more: nation.africa/kenya/business…

Did you know that the Uhuru satellite, launched from Kenya's coast in 1970, helped provide some of the first strong evidence that Cygnus X-1 was a black hole? and it was also the world's first satellite dedicated entirely to X-ray astronomy...
Stunning: Cygnus X is a binary star system with a hidden black hole. It may look like one star in this image, but it's actually the brighter (bottom) of the two stars near the centre (Credit: T.A. Rector - University of Alaska Anchorage, H. Schweiker - WIYN and NOIRLab/NSF/AURA)

My startup idea is to develop a device that can be attached to Kenya's existing radio and television antennas, allowing them to operate as radio telescopes while continuing their normal broadcasting functions since we already have a network of thousands of these antennas...

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.

The space race can only be beneficial for humans in this century if it funded more by the private sector. The government just has to put policies in place that will allow people innova
I organized an intervention to stop Elon from starting SpaceX. Here is the story... Twenty five years ago, Elon and I sat in a car on a dark stretch of Long Island highway, two neurodiverse geeks staring at the night sky and wondering what came next. We had both experienced substantial exits and felt the weight of possibility ahead of us. When I joked about 'space' while gazing upward, neither of us imagined we were planting the seed for what would become the largest IPO in history. We spent the next two hours debating why space was so hard. In the end, rockets are fuel and metal. We also debated where to go, and it was crystal clear that Mars was the only real destination. Upon returning to NYC, we embarked on a global tour of space, meeting space agencies and luminaries worldwide. This opened our eyes to an industry stuck in bureaucratic thinking. If things continued at that pace, it was clear that we would never explore space in our lifetime. So, we launched Life to Mars to show the world that two ambitious young men (29 and 30 years old), could send life to Mars without any government backing or support. We planned to send and grow plants on Mars, though some were pushing us to send mice. We had a $50 MM budget that rested on our purchase of two Russian ICBMs for $7 MM each. We assumed one ICBM would fail, and we would learn and fix everything before launching again. When Elon went back to actually buy the ICBMs, the Russians tripled the price, bringing out launch costs from a total of $14 MM to $42 MM. Our ambitious Life to Mars plan was no longer viable. As you might imagine, Elon was not pleased. So, he decided to start SpaceX and create his own Mars rockets. Now, this is a crazy idea, both now and at the time, so I organized a large panel of top space experts, and we ambushed him at the Georgian Hotel one morning. It was set up like an intervention for an alcoholic, but for space. Elon looked me in the eye when leaving the room and said, "I am going to do this." The intervention failed. Elon was committed. The rest is history. I am excited to see this IPO after 25 years of hard work. What SpaceX has done is a testament to human will and overcoming insurmountable obstacles. It's nothing short of amazing. Congratulations, E. Amazing.
