Hey Microsoft please stop trying to invent God and just make Outlook search work.

Assembled and tested some simple shunt resistor boards for hooking up current sensors to my Labjack and finalized the numbers on a preliminary combustion chamber design. Been a productive morning.

A very fun challenge of a different sort than I've taken on before, and of course the prize purse is a nice bonus!

About 1/3rd of my McMaster Carr prize money is reflected by just these 2 pressure differential sensors, and as long as they work I’ll have gotten a good deal from what i’ve seen of prices for other sensors. Gotta love instrumentation prices.

Watch Firefly land on the Moon! After identifying surface hazards and selecting a safe landing site, #BlueGhost landed directly over the target in Mare Crisium. A historic moment on March 2 we'll never forget. We have Moon dust on our boots! #BGM1

Stand assembly work this morning has proven a harsh reminder of why flare and compression fittings are so much nicer to work with than NPT especially when trying to clock fittings.

All of a sudden, this doesn’t seem so bad. Really wish i still worked at Firefly right now.

Anyone know somebody I could talk to about testing a small amateur liquid engine in the Durango, CO area around June? It's a small ~100 lbf N2O/IPA thruster.

Tank got in today and the chamber just needs some injector posts installed and a proof test before it is ready for hot fire testing

the true american dream

Fun fact: TSA doesn’t care at all if you bring a taillight through security in your carry on.

The good news: Feeling motivated to work on projects again after a busy few weeks The bad news: .005” orifices are small actually

Last weekend my school team launched our nitrous/ipa powered rocket to 21.5k feet. Not a bad first launch by the team. Future plan is just keep refining and going higher. Super cool to see a refined version of the rocket I led the team on last year as chief engineer launch.

I just found out I have $120 worth of bambu points from a singular model i uploaded a year ago. Perhaps it’s printer upgrade to P1S time.
