Tour of Navier's Alameda factory, which builds electric foiling boats under the brand American Pride. The boats use hydrofoils to lift out of the water, reducing drag. Nearby sits a pinball annex packed with vintage machines, a quirk of Alameda's character.
All right, people, we are in Alameda, California. That's the headquarters of Astra Space. You can watch Wild Wild Space by When the Heavens Aren't on Sale if you want to learn more about Astra. But then if you come in here, we have got a boat factory, Navier. Making these electric foiling boats. American Pride. These things are cool. We will show you them in a future episode of Core Memory. They started with this one, was their first boat. Here's some of the foils, this little thing. And then they did this one. And then they're up to these things now. And then the weirdest part about this building's over here. This is the pinball annex. She's got pinball machines as far as the eye can see. This is what makes Alameda an especially cool and strange place. Look at them all. And then back to the foils. There you go, Javier, enjoy.
