I’m an avid diver, resident of CT, and have a higher tier membership with Mystic Aquarium. This has been a very big deal around the state - with efforts from the congressmen and senators to lobby the federal government. Multiple emails went out on a frequent basis to the aquarium members to lobby for the permit for Mystic Aquarium. In February they launched an fundraising campaign with a $500k matching grant to care for the belugas. In December their year-end giving appeal was “Act Now to Help Bring Five Belugas to Mystic”.
And then, nothing.
I find an article about it on Hacker News of all places.
I get that there was some sensitivity about it given the lawsuits they had to fend off, but while we got an email about changes to the dinosaur exhibit this week, they didn’t even mention the belugas.
Maybe SpaceX has spoiled me by setting a standard for showing off their work.
