Hello, thanks so much for being here!

  1. How involved were young engineering students in the Apollo program? Was it mostly a closed-doors, professional affair, or a massive, open effort from all parties?

  2. Perhaps a more dreary question, but were you there the day the Challenger broke up? What was your perspective on that event, and the decision to detonate the remaining pieces of the launch vehicle, knowing that the crew was lost?

My friends and I (we're engineering students) have brainstormed devices like that a lot. It's a total classic, and if I ever get the chance to teach high school students, I'd totally bring it up as an exercise in invention.

Greetings! What can you tell us about the graphics you've incorporated into the Dawn engine, and what are you most proud of?
