This last round went great! Everybody finished their rockets and the paint jobs look amazing as always. It was a beautiful moment watching parents and their children making them together. Unfortunately, Indy’s weather hasn’t been great so the launch has been delayed 4 times. I’m shooting for early January now. That’s going to be a busy month cause right after that I’m starting the next round. Made a lot of connection this past month I’m really excited about!

Quick background: I’m trying to make Indianapolis have the highest rockets per capita in the world! 🚀🌎 I created and run a bootcamp where I teach everyone how to build high power rockets. I recruit volunteers, teach them, and then they help me teach students (ages 8+). Everybody builds, launches and keeps their own rocket. I’m also trying to get as many people certified in high power rocketry as I can. Then they can continue on their own full of inspiration and hopefully become part of humanity’s expansion into space.

Currently at 60/150 rockets and rocketeers towards my April Goal

New goal: 300 by the end of 2026.

I’m also lining up seasons outside Indy, I plan to go nationwide.
