Episode Synopsis

It’s funny because almost NO ONE knows this...

but...

The CG or Center of Gravity Controller is actually where ALL the magic happens for Kickit!🌟

I’m not an engineer or a physicist👨‍🔧, but I certainly learned a LOT about *both* when I was creating the Kickit with former MIT Engineer, NASA, Spaceforce and USAF Milstar Chief of Engineering Krissa Watry

Krissa patented “Deployable decelerator based microsatellite recovery” for Spaceflight... 🚀👀

... If you know how to decelerate a satellite to come back into the 🌎atmosphere... you could probably help decelerate a kickit!🤓

So THIS piece, the CG Controller is the brain 🧠 behind it all. Without precise engineering and countless hours of testing to make this piece, the Kickit wouldn’t flip over as perfectly as it does... and the flip🔃is the key!🔑

I guess what I’m really saying is, the flashy Red🔴Feathers and Elastic💢Rubber Kick-Pad get all the hype...

Our amazing Center of Gravity (CG) Controller needs some love y’all!❤️🤓

If you like this episode, I hope you'll share it in support for all the details that make something great and get taken for granted. They need love too!

See you on the next one.
