Rare species. One is a close friend who helps me not lose the remains of sanity that fast. For the price of having to travel a thousand kilometers to just get my hand held.
Works well to avoid major trouble. Good strategy. No observable effects beyond that. Still, good strategy.
Jewellery, once ceramics. But was a material engineer specialist and nothing beyond that. But nice even to do on its own, a calm quiet kind of work that lets one forget about things, and with no debugging to trace little annoying faults. Side note, a relatively small propane torch can be used to melt glass beads into earrings or pendants. It’s also sort of engineering, this technique was born from a test of glass-metal seal for vacuum tech to do sometime in the future.
It’s not inherently male-only, not in any principle; my own mom was designing some heavy steelmaking machinery. It’s that all the groups I get to are so, and the exceptions are rare and all already allocated. I am not alone; the supply/demand is not in my favor; assuming a 9/1 ratio I’d have to score in top 10% of competitors, give or take.
The near-term game is to avoid failure. The price is no hope for now. But hope always led to more pain than it was worth.
Thanks!
It ended up as a test of deployment and recording system. The battery used turned out to be too weak for the igniter so no actual launch. Oops. Still, a good dry run it was. There will be problems with optical tracking due to the camera angle of view. May be solvable.
