#155 You can't accidentally kneel on a black mans throat for 8 mins, Figma Design Event, Insights & more
In case you missed it,
SpaceX made history yesterday by successfully launching two humans into orbit. Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to space aboard its Crew Dragon spacecraft using a Falcon 9 rocket.
Whilst there are talks about this being more sustainable than past ventures into Orbit. I can’t help but think we will see a generation more interested in Machine Learning, AI and Robotics. We’ve seen young Nigerian Entrepreneurs like Silas Adekunle sell to Apple with his gaming robot. Keen to see more black faces in this space.
