In Churo, Baringo County today, I heard our people speak about marginalization, insecurity and poverty. Their stories took me back to my own. I wore shorts for the first time after my circumcision rites. Shoes only came when I joined secondary school. Free education changed everything for me. It took me to the Chief Justice's chair. We will not deny the children of Churo that same door. That is why I am in this race.

The foundation of the entire journey rests on Isaac Newton's idea. Objects do not need engines to keep moving. Once something is in motion, it stays in motion unless a force changes it. In space, that force is mostly gravity. A spacecraft does not fly the way an airplane does. It falls, it is always being pulled, mostly by Earth at first, then increasingly by the Moon, what keeps it from crashing is its speed. Moving fast enough sideways means it keeps missing the surface it is falling toward. That balance is what we call orbit. Gravity follows a rule that is simple in form but powerful in effect, every object pulls on every other object. The strength of that pull depends on size and distance. Earth pulls strongly because it is massive and close. The Moon pulls less, but as the spacecraft travels farther from Earth, that pull becomes more relevant. The Sun, far away but enormous, adds its own subtle influence. None of these forces are random. They can be measured and predicted. What makes the journey elegant is that it does not try to fight these forces, but uses them. Engineers design a path where gravity does most of the work. The spacecraft is sent toward the Moon at a precise speed and angle so that the Moon’s gravity bends its path. Done correctly, this creates what is known as a free-return trajectory. The spacecraft loops around the Moon and naturally falls back toward Earth. So even without major corrections, the physics itself guides it home. It's why a mission like Apollo 13, despite severe onboard failure, still had a path back. The route had been shaped by gravity from the start. Still, nothing in this system stands still and tracking everything at once would be overwhelming, so scientists change perspective depending on the moment. Sometimes they treat Earth as the center of the problem. At other times, they shift to the Moon’s point of view. This way of thinking, refined by Albert Einstein, allows complex motion to be broken into simpler pieces and instead of solving everything at once, they solve what matters in each frame. Now for returning to Earth, the spacecraft must enter the atmosphere at a narrow angle. Too steep, and the heat becomes destructive. Too shallow, and the spacecraft skips off the atmosphere and drifts away. Between those extremes lies a thin corridor where the atmosphere slows the spacecraft safely. This is calculated in advance, based on speed, angle, and how air behaves at extreme velocities. There is also a moment when all connection is lost. As the spacecraft passes behind the Moon, communication with Earth disappears completely, no signals get through and for a brief period, there is only silence. Yet the crew knows exactly where they are supposed to be. Every second of that path has been predicted before launch. If nothing has gone wrong, they will reappear on the other side, right on schedule. The universe, for all its motion, follows rules that can be trusted.

I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home. Nothing in that system is standing still. The Moon is moving. The Earth is moving. Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here. Adjust here. Come back here. And unlike nepa light, it infact works. There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side. I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything. But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

Your microwave exists because a guy felt a chocolate bar melting in his pocket. Penicillin, the drug behind an estimated 200 million saved lives, exists because someone forgot to wash a dish before going on vacation. That second one is worth the full story. In 1928, a Scottish biologist named Alexander Fleming left a small glass plate (the kind used to grow bacteria in labs) sitting uncovered on his bench. He took off for holiday. Came back. Some random mold had blown in through a window and landed on the plate, and it was killing every germ around it. He almost trashed the whole thing. Instead he looked closer, and that mold turned into the first antibiotic. Fleming being messy wasn't some freak one-off. Psychologist Kevin Dunbar spent years studying how scientists actually make breakthroughs, and his estimate is that 30% to 50% of all scientific discoveries have some element of accident baked in. A 2005 survey of over a thousand patent holders backed that up: half said they stumbled into their invention while working on something else entirely. Percy Spencer, an engineer at a defense company called Raytheon, was standing near radar equipment in the 1940s when he felt something warm in his pocket. The chocolate bar he'd brought for a snack was melting. Spencer grabbed a bag of popcorn kernels, held them near the radar, and watched them pop. Microwave oven. A German physicist named Wilhelm Röntgen was running experiments with glass tubes that shoot electrons in 1895 when he saw a screen across the room start glowing and couldn't explain why. He spent weeks locked in his lab trying to figure it out, eventually photographed his wife's hand bones using the mystery rays, and named them X-rays because he had zero idea what they were. Won the first Nobel Prize in Physics for a discovery he made by accident. The formal name for "fuck around and find out" is the scientific method. You take a guess, test it, see what happens. And the dirty secret of science is that most of the time, nothing useful happens. Nine out of every ten drugs that survive years of lab work and make it all the way to human testing still fail. Each one ate 10 to 15 years of work and roughly a billion dollars before hitting a dead end. A massive review that just wrapped up this year looked at 3,900 published studies across seven years and tried to redo them from scratch. They could only get the same results about half the time. Science is a career where you can fail nine times out of ten and still be considered good at your job. Pasteur said it 150 years ago: "Chance favors only the prepared mind." The fucking around is the job description. The finding out is the reward.

If you think about it, a scientists whole job is to fuck around and find out

This morning in Kabarnet town, a little girl named Nancy Kapanat flagged down our convoy. We stopped. She walked up and handed me a portrait that she and her friends had made together. A portrait of their President. I was speechless. If you ever wonder why I am in this race, look at Nancy's face. Look at what these children believe is still possible for Kenya. Their faith is not a burden I carry lightly. It is the very reason I will not stop. The work to Reset, Restore and Rebuild this country has never felt more urgent, or more real, than it did at that moment on a roadside in Kabarnet. Ukombozi is not a slogan. For Nancy and her generation, it is the only acceptable future. #UkatibaCaravan #UkatibaNdioTiba #MaragaMashinani @ugmparty

Whoever came up with KPLC's standard operating procedure was pure evil. You go to Kenya Power and tell them you want them to supply power; they make you buy the post, wire, and meter. They then tell you that those things you just bought are now the property of Kenya Power. They then charge you a fee to come and connect you to the grid. Then they make you wait for months. When you think they're done, just like major, they hit you with another banger: they randomly switch off power and don't shout at them. It must be nice 😊.

Leaving for Airport, I had to use Matatu, I had very little left for spending, I couldn't afford uber. For a flight leaving at 3am, I left at 10pm and arrived very early, because otherwise I wouldn't find a matatu to the airport at 2am. Regardless, We Won!
