@jwcutler I totally agree here. It seems to me that if industry and government would get a greater return on better supporting education. It is less expensive to train there than for two or three years after they hire them.
Got space technology? If you got the youth involved, imagine all of the terrestrial applications they could find? The challenge is, will you share and support youth education? Time to give back!
@cboshuizen @blueorigin You can afford going to space because of the invention of the CubeSat for student education. How about starting a Student Space Education Foundation and making a contribution to it?
How about a surcharge be applied to every CubeSat, PocketCube and CanSat launched that is put into an International Education Fund that is used for international STEM education?
I recognized a need for a less expensive launch in 2005. After many designs to try to use the P-POD, we got our first launch in 2013 using the MR-FOD launcher. Thanks to many the less expensive launch is now possible with PocketQube.
