Gosh dang, I have some really cool friends

Can I make a confession? I never remember the redstone repeaters crafting recipe, even though it's so simple

[Collin @Collin_Barkley]

A wood scientist, a cabinet maker, and an aerospace engineer build a 3-story building together, stop me if you've heard this one before...

In 1903 the Wright Brothers took off in their flyer and remained airborne for 12 seconds. It was the first time humanity had ever achieved powered flight. Now, 117 years later, with Ingenuity, humanity has achieved powered flight on Mars. Dare to dream. Dare to persevere.

You wouldn’t believe what I just saw.

The moment that my team dreamed of for years, now a reality. Dare mighty things.

Watching the Mars rover landing while writing a scope and research paper for my capstone rocket. Maybe one day I'll get to be apart of a mission as cool as @NASAPersevere

Was assigned my Capstone project today. I will be working on a single stage liquid engine rocket that is to fly past the Karmen Line, 100 km above sea level(i.e. the edge of space). This is something a rocket of this type has never achieved before, so let's see how this goes...

Been updating my resume in hopes that someone will actually hire me when I graduate so I asked my boss what my official job title is right now and without skipping a beat he said "Assistant to the Technical Manager". Dude has never even watched the office...

In times of great divide I think it is beneficial to remember our true place in this vast universe of ours, and nothing underscores that better than Pale Blue Dot. Remember to love each other and to be kind, we're all we got.

I'm too lame to have any Halloween plans this year so instead I'm just going to dress up in my Carl Sagan costume and do aerospace homework. Hoping it will help channel his genius

4-1 homestand capped off with a sweep?

[Collin @Collin_Barkley]

Science isn't about proving what you know it's more about proving what you don't. Same idea is very powerful when applied to life in general: Seek to disprove your beliefs, values, ideologies; not to reinforce them. Greater truth is always just around the next corner

Go Ms

If you showed someone footage of a Mariners game with all the cardboard cutouts in the stands instead of actual fans and they had no context as to why they'd think it's some weird dystopian type shit

[Collin @Collin_Barkley]

Games that place waypoints after you've been stuck wondering around lost for a few minutes are the best type of games

[Collin @Collin_Barkley]

@midsinlol But it's not elitist when I'm putting down something I don't like because obviously those things are just objectively bad and so obviously everyone else needs to hate it too. You see, I have a refined taste that is immune to any subjectivity or bias
