Calculating pi with a lunar rover (Moon Pi Update!)

Thanks to everyone who supported the Kickstarter - you can still purchase more patches but all name changes are now closed! Head on over to https://pi.space/ to check your status.

Thanks to the great people at Astrobotic Technology. Find out more about Cuberover and the mission here: https://www.astrobotic.com/astrobotics-cuberover-is-flight-ready-for-lunar-mission/

Huge thanks to Colin Beveridge, Ben Ashforth and Stephen Parker for all their work on the calculation code that's going on the rover, and thank you to Skylar McDonald for setting up and maintaining the pi.space database.

The brilliant patch design was created by Keith Tyson: https://keithtyson.com/

Huge thanks to my Patreon supporters. I appreciate them to the virtual moon and back. http://patreon.com/standupmaths
