I'm reading When the Heavens Went on Sale, a new book by Ashlee Vance about private companies putting things into space.

He describes the Rainbow Mansion, an intentional community in Cupertino, California where people who are interested in space technology live together.

I've just made a #Wikidata item for the Rainbow Mansion. The house was already on #OpenStreetMap, I've added the name and linked it with the Wikidata item.
