Can you spare a few hours? Maybe NASA could use them.
While I’m not planning to invest in a fractional jet primarily for philanthropic or scientific purposes, I was nonetheless struck by a story in which two Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are loaning their private jet to NASA for a few hours. In the early morn of September 1, the plane will help give the scientists a great glimpse of a rare Aurigid meteor shower. The plane will cruise at some 45,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean. For more details, check out this NASA news release. Cool stuff, for sure. And, for me, a reminder that should I find myself with some spare hours, there’s likely a creative way to put them to use.
