Since the rocketry team began three years ago as a class project, it has grown both in team size and in the scale of rockets. Behind every vehicle are countless datapoints, built through hundreds of launches and tests. Oftentimes, the rocket may seem like an uncontrollable system, where all the theoretical predictions are invalidated by a single gust of wind. Even so, I hope that the data--and the hard-earned lessons that came with it--will not go to waste and that the team will continue to be guided by a critical eye and a fiery passion.​
