This year, I've had the privilege to mentor a fantastic group of four students representing UT San Antonio in the 2025 NASA Student Launch Competition. This weekend, they flew a test launch in the Lone Star Cup, earning 2nd place! Looking forward to the competition launch in Huntsville!

My non-strategy of not having a 401k after living as an adult through 2008, 2020, and now, certainly seems to be an interesting gambit where I'm sure that I'm not "ahead" of where I would have been but I'm certainly less stressed than I would have been

What "old" movie is most important to transfer to the next generation ? I would vote Terminator(s) (one and two) over Top Gun. I'm aerospace, I know. But the times are what they are.

The honest B or C student, submitting essays filled with awkward constructions, malapropisms, earnest, if failed or surface-y arguments--a surprise hero of the present age.

Saw a few "D.A.R.E." shirts on my flights today. Reminded of campaigns way back when I was a kid across local, state, federal agencies, "kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray." Anyone else remember this?
