I like space and, you know, I grew up with like the Lego space shuttle and like a space shuttle poster on the wall kind of thing, but was way more into like cars and jets and music and whatever, you know, not necessarily like a space kid.
You know, I was never like my goal in life is going to I'm going to go to space, you know, like not like that.
But all of a sudden, like during that, like 2013, 14 process, I just fell in love with the whole thing just by doing the art project and also watching at the time, like that's when SpaceX was trying to land their Falcon 9 booster for the first time.
So I just started like watching some of that stuff and I was like, this is awesome.
Like why, how can I learn more about this?
And I was just, you know, going over like on Reddit all the time and I was reading all the blogs and watching every, like everything I could absorb and there wasn't a lot out there.
And I'm like,
I don't know.
Why don't I just make videos about this stuff?
Cause it's really exciting.
And like, I feel like there's a lot of questions that I'm seeing asked often that I'm not getting good answers to.
So I just started making videos about how rockets work and, um,
That just pretty quickly.
So you're self-taught?
You just kind of like learned all this stuff on your own?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
And it just kind of kept going, started going to rocket launches, you know, out here at the Cape over here in Florida and at Vandenberg.
And then SpaceX started doing a lot of stuff at Starbase, Texas, which is like very southern tip of Texas down by Brownsville.
