Until you Bio-engineer midichlorians that field still has so much potential.
Seriously just support NASA and work in your field until you find a problem that is interesting. I'm quite sure that NASA hires Bio-engineers. In fact I think that there is link somewhere around here.
There it is...
Also OP does the fact that it was you and a team that worked on it make it less rewarding. I mean working on a small part of that rover is awesome you know to me at least. Anyway the examples you made were kinda interesting because how you described working somewhere it seems that you would be...
Well you could just take five seconds google it and find that its mostly people doing it because not only is it artistic but also gullible people think aliens are responsible
Really? Weak arguments? Those of us who desire to explore have the entirety of human history on our side that points to the fact that humans are built to explore and expand. But as to your other arguments. You are correct that the robots are better in terms of cost that has clearly been admitted...
As to why we look for planets it is our need to explore. More so than anything in life we have to explore even with our limited technology it is human nature. The very fact that we can detect planets and that we may not be alone makes any search worthwhile.
See I have to disagree while robotic exploration is great the returns on a human mission far outstrip those missions. The reason I say this is because rovers and other robotic systems are only built to handle a very specific set of problems whereas humans on a mission are able to do more in a...
So you don't ask questions in class that are practical then? As long as you don't try to monopolize the Professor's time your probably helping the class out.
Hello everyone not sure if this has been brought to the attention of the forum yet but there is a kickstarter project going on called Fight For Space about the neglect of the American Space Program. Go and watch the trailer and let me know what you think.
I personally think it is an awesome...
Lets be honest here is the prof boring or the subject. I've had boring profs before but to get through the class I looked to make the subject interesting so as long as you motivate yourself to learn the material you should be fine.
As to what to do I did homework sets during class for the...
Ok huh sorry for my ignorance then but Engine design as in R&D on propulsion systems is not done by Aerospace Eng but Mech Eng. Can you quickly give me a few examples of what an Aero Eng might end up doing in the space industry.
Yeh as I said what I want to work on Engine design eventually. Obviously I probably won't be doing that right off the bat but if aero at CU is my best bet to start on that path then I am more than happy to do it. Thanks for the advice.
