Listen "It (Actually) Is Rocket Science"
Episode Synopsis
How hard is rocket science? Fifty-five years after Apollo 11 landed on the moon, students at the University of New Mexico built and launched their own rocket. In this casual episode, we explore why rocket science may not actually exist. Then, we hear from Fernando "Doc" Aguilar, who served in the Air Force Space Command before developing UNM's rocket engineering course. Later, Hyein Choi, a Lobo Launch alumna, walks us through the harrowing journey students faced leading up to the 2024 Spaceport America Cup.
