– Matt Parker, probably
Matt Parker is going to the moon. I mean, not literally. Everyone’s favourite Stand-Up Mathematician is the sort of person who’s more likely to go to hyperspace than to space. However, when Matt was approached to do “something ridiculous” with spare computing power on a lunar rover, there was only ever going to be one outcome: an attempt to calculate \( \pi \) on the moon.
