not a rocket scientist (yet) • eng student @airbus

hi, it‘s time to wake up

i‘m ben, 21 years old and a dual-study aeronautics student at @airbus

i’ve been sleeping for way too long on what’s still waiting to be built in aerospace

so follow me here as i share my projects and what i’m learning

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@Echo5550 the difference is insane damn

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@sonichNik check out @zoodotdev

@emm0sh i really have hope for the new nvidia spark laptops

they need to slap

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

having a role model is underrated

when i decided to double down on this career, i looked up people who followed a similar path

i found @hanskoenigsmann, who first studied in germany, then moved to the us and eventually became the 4th engineer at @spacex

personally, i‘m aiming for a move like that too, to develop myself in the us during my aerospace master’s and gain valuable experience

of course it‘s important to go your own way and not fully copy someone else’s life

but having a role model helps show you what paths are possible and how all that hard work could potentially pay off in the future

@SparkassenKing das ist meiner Meinung nach auch der Typus Aufgabe, der absolut unnötig ist und nicht geprüft werden sollte

die Ingenieure von morgen sollten mehr können als auswendig lernen

@LemanWalters i love mullvad

@yacineMTB failures are the single most important thing in developing a product

you can run endless analysis, but in the end a hardware test does the job the best

now it‘s just important to get back up and rebuild while learning from this

@acosmicoliver 😭

@SciGuySpace nevermind…

BREAKING:

Massive explosion by Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket on a launchpad in Cape Canaveral, Florida

Major setback for Jeff Bezos

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@SciGuySpace i’m already looking forward to their next launch

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@seanchansato @UWaterloo @openmind_agi that‘s an insanely stacked resume already

looking forward to see what you‘ll create next!

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@EmekaBuilds_ @arduino @princess_yfe that‘s what it‘s all about!

currently working on a few theoretical projects myself, so definitely need to touch some more hardware soon as well

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@ArrowAir_ every day is

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@macjshiggins we just had this model in a simulations and modeling seminar at uni a few weeks ago

couldn‘t agree more

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@yatharthmann just stumbled over your project, this looks incredible

good luck for the launch!

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@flyarcher looks very satisfying

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@ian__villa hahah that's a really interesting contraption

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@X doing exactly that

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

today Jon Reijneveld the chief engineer and co-founder of The Exploration Company (TEC) held a lecture at my uni

it was planned for an hour, but it lasted more than two and a half

and honestly, it was one of the most insightful engineering talks I’ve attended so far

he didn’t just talk about Nyx, their cargo capsule, but also about what it takes to build a space startup

how to start small, test early, fail fast and turn every lesson into the next better version of your product

left the room with even more ambition for aerospace

[ben (aero arc) @benwithhat]

@zoodotdev amazing!! gonna try that out asap
