Sounds like an interesting and innovative initiative.  I can't make the meetings myself but would welcome any feedback here from anyone who can attend - e.g. how practical is it, what skills are needed, how long to build your own home, and of course costs

The clay mock-ups for foundry processing look fantastic.

And of course it's one of those starnge paradoxes of the universe that what you are seeing may not actually exist!  You are seeing Aldebaran as it was about 60 years ago so in the time it has taken for its light to reach us it may have disappeared into a black hole.  It could be all illusion and we won't know for another 60 years.
