Hi everyone!
Just a reminder we have our next rocketry workday today at 8pm in KL 401 as usual.
Also, we have some updates for you:
- A huge thank you! to Dr. Hicks for speaking at our last meeting - we all got plenty of great advice and stories!
- We have social media (thank you Zach)! Please be sure to follow us on Instagram: astronauts_club_ud and (if you have it) facebook: UDAC
- You should already be familiar with SEDS individual membership (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space) (if not, be sure to sign up HERE, its free!). SEDS also has a Discord (https://discord.gg/hSx4RFx4) and Slack. Please feel free to join either - they are a great resource for questions, networking, and just learning about astronautics.
That's it for this week - see you tonight!
Ad Astra,
Jacob K.
