Aye 10 years later it would be interesting to see the changes. I'm glad with where I've ended up at least, despite my only hands on creating being in the kitchen haha

πŸ§ͺπŸ”­ I got the amazing pleasure of touring the @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social facility yesterday with the @irg-space.bsky.social crew after the main conference ended. Saw all parts of the rocket manufacturing process, and was wowed every step of the way!

Distant Worlds, Neighboring Opportunities was the theme that I chose for this year's symposium. I chose it to highlight the need to build a resilient community to support #innovation and drive impactful change. Be kind, crew. #Aerospace
