“I joined the Rocket Team with no particular
knowledge of rocketry or any particular technical field. And yet, in the
space of 2 years I have learned an uncountable amount of things, both
technically and organisationally. A practical project like this one is a
perfect companion to a mostly theoretical study like the one at EPFL.”
