NT - Chuckin' rockets into space

[BulldogTom]

My son has worked on this project since he started with Spinlaunch while a senior in college.   They just proved concept on a 1/3 scale kinetic launch system.   Daddy is very proud of his little one.

Pretty impressive and pride in his participation should be obvious.  He must come from good stock, right?  Was he pictured in the video?

Not in the video.   He works out of the Long Beach HQ offices.

I watched the video, it was very interesting. Definitely an out of the box approach, I hope they succeed.

Excellent!  Congratulations, dad.

That's crazy, a friend of mine sent me this video earlier in the week; I did not expect to see it here! Very cool, Tom.

[WITAXLADY]

Impressive!

Wow! That's really something! YAY

Stories like this should be lauded, as it gives up hope for the future (as compared to the "regular" news).  I say this as being in a similar situation, son who helped many with initial covid issues, participating in developing an in house test for covid when there were not enough tests to go around, etc. (Sr. Clinical Researcher), and who was encouraged by his mentors to take the MCAT and is now an MS1 - and already helping patients in student run free clinics.
