Well, I went through the Kwajrockets archive and found some goodies. I know you guys are probably scouring every corner of this blog for all the great stuff I've written, but just in case, I thought I'd give you a highlight reel.
Omelek - SpaceX's island
Did you know that Kwaj is very far away?Some Kwaj facts:
- Guam is closest at 1,400 miles away, Hawaii is 2,100 miles away
- It's the largest Atoll in the world
- Population 2,500
- It has a runway and a small military base.

The ocean as seen from Kwaj.
The beaches aren't the big draw here.
I would love to visit this area some day. The Pacific seems like a great place. Melanesia, Polynesia, Micronesia... Some day.
