We just partnered with the Musk Foundation to give out $175k in grants to advance the frontier of collegiate rocketry. This is in addition to the $390k we’re already giving out to collegiate teams building propulsive self-landing rockets. When we first started, people laughed and told us what we were attempting would be impossible. 2 years later, several student teams have achieved both TVC and throttled hotfire with liquid engines, and they are making fast progress on their hoppers. We’re already seeing hover attempts at a collegiate level! These kids are doing this on 0.001% of a typical rocket budget, dedicating 80 hour weeks without any pay to build some of the most capable rockets outside of industry. The reason why so many people fall in love with space and rocketry is because it is proof that humanity is capable of the impossible. We want to continue to advance that mission. Back to work.

@PatrickFinley_ I’m from the university that developed HAL9000. I’ve worked on a liquid rocket engine’s design and injection system. It hot fired quite recently!

@PatrickFinley_ Student Rocketry is 90% of my core memories from school, and an invaluable experience for becoming a better engineer. More support for student rocketry is always amazing to see

@Support @x please urgently review the suspension of @PatrickFinley_ founder of Definity Educafion (501c3, EIN 88-1261179). This is a false-positive impersonation flag — he is verifiably the legitimate founder of the organization. Documentation available. 🙏🏼
