Amateurs worldwide explore the final frontier together.
Alabama’s Redstone Rocket wrote about the local middle and high school students who went to the Team America Rocketry Challenge in May. The Falcon Rocketeers finished 22nd in a field of 100 teams. The article writes about how the students used software simulations to design their rocket and ensure that it would meet the contest’s performance goals.
Amateurs around the world explore the final frontier. They make small steps, not giant leaps, but these makers, coders, astronomers, and citizen scientists are helping the pros explore Earth, the Solar System, and the Universe beyond.
You can explore space, no spacesuit required. Amateurs around the world build satellites, study planets orbiting other stars, and take part in crowdsourced citizen science projects. Educators use hands-on space projects to inspire their students to study science and mathematics. And these are real projects - middle school students have experiments running on the International Space Station right now!
I created this website to share the many ways normal people like you and me join humanity's next great adventure. Take a look around. Let me know what you think. What projects do you want to hear more about?
