As a freshman entering college, I felt a disconnect from what my classes were teaching and what I really wanted to do. Liquid Rocket Initiative was one of the few ways I am able to do real engineering and get hands-on skills while also helping to build something impactful.

@Fruitycocoaa It's all just a calzone. Every food that's enclosed in a carbohydrate is a calzone

@AndyManganelli Not as happy of an occasion as usual for my fellow McLaren fans.

@SciGuySpace Hey Eric, do you know how they route the TEA/TEB into the merlin on launch? I know the procedure on launch ignition is different from using the TEA/TEB stored inside the vehicle for relight. I'd assume it goes through the quick disconnect, but I'm not sure.

[Colin @ColinR214]

@Erdayastronaut How do the ground systems supply TEA/TEB to the merlins on ignition? Is it routed through a quick disconnect and into the engine, or is it somehow routed into the engines from below?

Hi @torybruno, I'm part of a liquid-fueled rocket engine student organization at UIUC. Any recommendations on whether to use ablatives or attempt regenerative cooling? Additionally, any advice on securing sponsorship or funding, and does ULA have any grants or applications?
