BPS Space is what got me into building my own thrust vectoring rocket during COVID lockdowns.

It was super fun to bring together lots of different disciplines and skills. 3D printing, software, soldering, circuit design, simulation etc.

Ultimately, I got so obsessed with it I got burned out and had to take a break for a bit but came back fresh and finished it. Did a few flights over the year with more and more interesting things culminating in a dual stage flight. I've still got the rocket ready to go anytime. Just gotta wait for the weather to clear up.
