2022-05-21 09:42:18 +0000 UTC View PostHEADS UP: So while "official" livestreams from the sky may still be months away (and have some HUGE financial hurdles to overcome), I wanted to do a bit of a "test" stream today and share it with you guys!!

Plus a New Channel!! I would honestly love to have you as the first crew on this new channel as it kicks off!!
