| Growing up the rocket basically meant I had a place to chill out and definitely would hang out with my friends in it at one point my friends and I made a movie about going to an alien world with it as a central plot. I don't know that envy was the right word but everyone thought it was pretty cool. I do but only that I was really interested in the rivet guns as it was a tool I'd never seen before haha. I'm kinda weird in that I don't have a mental eye so it wasn't like in my imagination like most people would think of it but it was definitely something that I spend a lot of time thinking about as a child. My siblings are a lot younger than me so I don't know exactly but they definitely seem to think it's cool especially my younger brother. I remember that when we went to maker fair with the rocket I could not be less interested in it and spend as much time as I could looking at the other displays because well I had the rocket at home. I don't think the rocket specifically influenced my carrier choice but I got to participate in lot of projects like this with my dad for all of my childhood and so that definitely is a big reason I'm in college for mechanical engineering right now. As a mechanical engineering major I really would love to go into robotics especially like conveniency things like home automation systems. It definitely was one of those things that was just around when I was a kid and as I started on my own projects I look back at that project as my first. |
