Every now & then being in the space/aviation field gives you the privilege to meet extraordinary people. After a long day of lecturers I ended up hanging out making paper airplanes with Paul MacCready. It was like talking shop with Orville Wright. Magic evening.
The CAD drawing of our submarine is starting to catch up with the real thing.
This is what a student’s science lab should look like.
Sometimes we work on engines for spacecraft & sometimes more Earthly ones. We been getting the support boats ready for our submarine’s dive tests. A carburetor rebuild & the SeaSwirl will be ready to launch. Don’t forget infrastructure in your space programs!
Ascender 36 is getting a new command/control system, new helium valves and a new internal structure. It will take to the air again this August.
Sometimes your airship is just a big blue wall.
Up top conducting airship to orbit research. On this one we were testing engine systems.
