Sorry, I'm coming in a bit late on this subject and not going back to read all the comments. But, there's something that Matt JL said that is pushing me a bit to post. I've often wondered about "the path to space" and how TRA could be involved with this? My impression of student teams is that they tend to be overly ambitious, unprepared, and cut corners. So, when I hear a student say, "we want to build a rocket to reach space," I probably roll my eyes a bit. Sorry. I like ambition and the energy of eager students. But, I'm not a fan of rocket competitions and think that overly ambitious and not having clear reasons of why we are doing this tends to teach students to fail and not to succeed. But, dealing with students makes me think of dealing with customers; give them what they want to keep them happy and not necessarily what they need. And, what I think they need is to learn fundamental things and gain experience. But, good luck trying to slow them down. LOL. I think the thing that TRA can help mostly by doing what it's always done, helping individuals build, fly, and advance in certification levels. TRA doesn't need a separate mentoring program. And, what's the #1 thing individual students will learn from going through this established process? How will this help them in their "path to space?" They will learn that this is an unforgiving endeavor; yes, you will learn from mistakes, but the most important thing you will learn is not to make mistakes. Strong team members make a strong & capable team. And, that's what I think TRA can do most; help individuals advance in amateur rocketry and they can take the knowledge and experience back to the team. So, changing gears a bit, MattJL asked "what's next?" It's not an orbital flight. You just had a team launch a rocket with a very similar flight that CSXT did with the GoFast rocket in 2004 and repeated in 2014; slug your way on a single stage past an imaginary line. Impressive - Yes! But, there's considerable refinements that can happen. Like, staging. How about better telemetry (and better video), de-spin, etc. Personally, for a noteworthy achievement, I would like to see some team launch a rocket with a flight over the Atlantic Ocean. But, there's lots of objectives that would have to be achieved before a down-range kind of flight. Well, I tried to keep it short. Stuck my chin out on this one. Here it probably comes...
