The Journey Continues

Siddhanathaswami writes us from his travels in California with Shanmuganathaswami:

Aum!

We missed Kauai's jungles, so we took a scenic drive and stopped at the cliffs south of San Francisco. It was a beautiful day, sunny yet in mid 60s and cool. These photos show a bit of green, but as soon as you go inland everything is dry beyond belief. They are in a 3-year drought after all.

We then flew to LA and met up with Mayuran Muttulingam. He took us on a tour of SpaceX. They don't allow photos inside, just like Kadavul. SpaceX builds rockets to put satellites in space and resupply the international space station. They are close to being able to reuse some parts after a launch, so that they don't have to build everything from scratch each time. Over the next 24 months they plan to have 50 launches. That means building two rockets a month!!!

The huge building had rockets being built at all stages. When they are assembled they are about 140 feet tall. It was a super high tech machine shop.

Today we are visiting Mayuran's home and going with them on an outing.

Aum Shanti
