I mentioned that I was really into space.

In high school?

Yeah, yeah.

So I didn't build anything crazy.

Well, no, I didn't build any.

Anyway, long story short, there's something called the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program,

where a bunch of high schools and universities compete to design experiments that'll be conducted on the ISS.

And my team and I in high school designed this experiment to study essentially just cell replication in space to see if there was any difference between how

organisms grow.

And so we won that competition and then got our experiment launched on a Falcon 9 rocket up to the ISS.

And the astronauts there conducted it.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

High school you did that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Me and a team of other guys, but yeah.

What does that feel like?

That was the most inspired and proud I had been in my life up until that point.

And I would say roughly in order to something like getting to know Jesus Christ, having made precipitation, and getting to send something to the ISS were like biggest life accomplishments probably.
