Second Stage Euphoria: That feeling you get when the sustainer lights up after holding your breath through launch and booster burn. @MITRocketTeam

An amazing day in the Mojave Desert with this incredibly smart and talented group of students from MIT. Their engineering was exceptional, although they had an anomaly 7 seconds into flight — proving again that rockets are difficult. Great spirit @MITRocketTeam

In case you wondering if I am still alive:Yes I am ;) Instead of destroying IoT, I work on @MITRocketTeam on the Avionics team. Today we tried to do a radio range test between NEU's ISEC building and MIT's Green building roof. Tnx to MIT Radio Society. Hacking will soon continue.

“A good rule for rocket experimenters to follow is this: always assume that it will explode.” – Astronautics Magazine (October 1937) Thanks @MITRocketTeam,made me smile! rocketry.mit.edu/2018/02/p-1…

Excited I got to go down to @Spaceport_NM this week and see some student rocket teams launch to 10K+ feet for ESRA's Spaceport America Cup!

If you're going to 3D-print rocket parts, you'd want to make them out of metal to handle the stress, right? Not necessarily. MIT has successfully test-fired what it believes is the first completely...
