I saw so many people asking why not just use solar cells from hobby stores

well I mean universities sometimes do cubesats

Yup and they do some really cool stuff

iirc the uni one of my sisters attends made an instrument that went up on the Parker Solar Probe

Dang that's so freaking sick!

it is

I want to work on something like that

same

Although I'm considering not going to uni cus fuck debt

I tried working with a team. Progress kinda frustrating

trade school more like based school

Why not consider uni? If you study hard you can aim for scholarship

perhaps

I already get free college so

¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯

Then why not go to Uni

Plus

Space industry is growing like crazy

Aerospace is a hot feild

I would chase after it ASAP

It's like historical opportunity

It's just mind blowing to be able to study and work on hardware

That'll go to space and be more and more accessible

Go for aerospace. I wanted to, but I’m not good with math and physics.

I was doing a time lapse of the cassiopeia region last night, and a plane flew by. The line with dots next to it at the bottom third is where the plane few by.

photobomb

yup

it's actually quite annoying

I'm happy I wasn't actually trying for a good image because it would have been ruined

Haha happened to me to

Ruined my startrail

A flock of KC-135Rs south of Spain

I agree with you. With the private sector finally allowed to unleash, I would not be surprised if we have a mission to Mars in the next 10-15 years. Space tourism is really no more than a decade away assuming no regulatory issues.

If the Democrats don't get in the way, I really see it happening. They would probably demand that the space agencies hire "diversely" and drive their prestige into the ground. Or those businesses would pack up and go to other nations, turning the US into another starving authoritarian state.
