NASA Student Launch

Last week Bill and I were down in Huntsville at the NASA Student Launch. Bill was on the team of NAR volenteers helping to put on the event and I was there as the mentor of the UMass Amherst team. I thought you couldn't beat the TARC finals but this was an incredible event. Most of the projects the teams put together were off the charts! We also had a tour of the Marshal Space Center and a banquet held under a Saturn V!

I put some photos in the gallery.

Here are a some links to give you an idea of what was going on:

The whole thing was televised live on NASA-TV but here are clips of the UMass team's launch and their interview (with me looking on proudly in the background...)

Two members of the UMASS team have jobs at SpaceX when they graduate. I begged them to take me even offering to work for free (I know my value) but no luck.

Can they talk to Elon about getting a deal on a Tesla?

You'll probably have to pay for it with PayPal.


I uploaded a few of my pictures.

Not even as a Six Sigma expert?
