yea I guess

still think mars will take 40 years but that's just me

Space pessimist vs optimist

eh

pessimism is better

because you can't be disappointed

anything is a bonus

True, but it does make you work harder ;)

yup

Like I was supposed to launch 2 years ago

?

Eh hem I had a break down midway from frustration

oof

I hope to get some launches in 2021

Idk 2 years ago I knew nothing about rocketry

And I thought I could launch something right away

Lol

aim for the stars and if you miss you'll still be around the sun

Lol no

I'm aiming for 300 ft AGL

The biggest I dream atm is suborbital

My freind is doing it. Mach 4 rocket, it's so cool

Wish I could do that lol

someday I hope to work on sats

it's quite a big industry here in the UK

Well you can work on suborital weather balloon cubesats

Or even picketqube

I need to get some qualifications first

and/or money

Yes true, I mean just the solar cells

Wew they were pricey

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

Lol the sun would fry those in space

I want to send my own cubesat so bad

ISIS

😳

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!
