- First Meeting this Thursday at 7pm! KL 401
- Remember to Join 1850!
Welcome back from your 3 day weekend!
I hope you all enjoyed the extra day off. I have exciting news this week - our first meeting will be this Thursday from 7-8pm in KL 401! We plan to have biweekly meetings following this for the remainder of the semester, same place, same time.
The meeting will be an overview of our plans for the club and a hands on activity!
And... if you haven't joined the club 1850 yet, be sure to do so. If you already have, thank you!
That's it for this week - see you all Thursday!

In the News:
- SLS was delayed from Saturday's launch attempt, citing a hydrogen fuel leak in the support structure (I'm no chemist, but I don't think that's a good thing). The next launch window is September 19-30th, if a fix can be found in time. Otherwise the launch may be pushed into October (the next launch window) or later. https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/science/nasa-ready-second-attempt-artemis-lunar-launch-2022-09-03/
