Rockets Rock!

Hello World!
So tonight I saw a rocket launch. I just love seeing them, they are such a work of art and engineering. 

A symphony of diverse parts, pieces, and people coming together at the right time and place to achieve something grand. Whether they launch supplies, satellites, or people- rockets are needed to keep our life as we know it going. How amazing to be a part of that! 

One of my really cool rocket scientist colleagues has a great non profit program for teens to engage in high altitude launches, you can check it out here http://www.rocketmavericks.com

Or you might be interested in reading the fascinating story of the first female rocket scientist, shown below 

There are still women making history, such as Abrille, a rocket scientist you can read more about here http://www.usasciencefestival.org/schoolprograms/niftyfifty/525-dr-aprille.html



I hope you will launch into STEM whoever you are and whatever you do, because rockets rock! 
:)
