Issue #270 - SpaceLab

Astro Pi is back and we’re absolutely buzzing with excitment. If you don’t know what Astro Pi is, where have you been? check out our new video. And then check out our other new video!

And while we have your attention, be sure to also vote for your favourite Raspberry Pi projects for issue 75 of The MagPi magazine, and guess the weight of Nicola’s four-year-old rubber band ball.

And then have a wonderful weekend!

Peace,

Alex
