Imminent Collision?!?!
Hunter and Nicole from the Project Niu team are currently in Tarawa, a small atoll that is part of the nation of Kiribati. As you may know, they’re there to meet Roz Savage, who deployed Niu Hae Akala on the equator a few weeks ago. Since then, Niu Hae Akala has header due west and is now only 10 miles from landing on Abemema Atoll.
Back here in Hawaii, we’re monitoring this situation closely. We just sent this message to Hunter and Nicole, hoping they’ll get it in time, or that Niu Hae Akala will avoid landfall.
To Hunter and Nicole…
You guys might need to plan another boating trip soon. Niu Hae Akala is headed **DIRECTLY** for that atoll that Roz nearly hit last night.
It’s 10 miles away as of a few minutes ago, and is approaching at 1.3 miles per hour “steering” a perfectly straight course of 264 degrees.
The drama begins as an expensive computer floats to a (hopefully) uninhabited atoll…
