Personal Rocketry
Before sixth grade, I was already trying to figure out how rockets worked. I did not have the math yet, but I had the drive to build things and see what happened. These early projects were about curiosity, rough ideas, and learning with my hands.
Following the curiosity
I explored rocket designs, launch ideas, and movable control surfaces by making things and observing them. It was an intuitive way to ask questions about motion and stability, long before I could work through the equations.
Where it started
The surviving photos capture that early interest. This collection is a look at the curiosity behind my later engineering work.
