Ad Astra is the name of the school, funded by Elon Musk, which started in a conference room at SpaceX. Musk's five children go there. Children between ages 7 and 14, all 'work' together as they learn in a school which doesn't have separate classes or give grades. The school has a currency of its own called Astra and kids learn about topics like nuclear politics, ethics and artificial intelligence. And children are allowed to incorporate flamethrowers in their robots!
