Launch!

Congratulations to the New England Sci-Tech team from Natick making the 2026 finals in Virginia!

I'm really happy to hear that. They had some of the most reproducible launches I'd seen this year.

The power of practice!

They are the only representatives of New England (not including Farmington, Connecticut). I'd like to figure out how to get more successful teams here. I don't think we can blame just the snow and trees. Thoughts?

According to the email from Trip:

"The cutoff score for selection was 23.28, about 5 points lower than in any previous year."

So very competitive. If I recall correctly, the Brookline MA team had a score

of 29, so pretty close. The Masconomet team has test flight scores, that if they

had been qualification flights probably would have made it.
