Assignments

New Horizons Spacecraft

My first impression of this course is good. It seems like I'm going to have a fair amount of fun typing up posts with coffee in hand. I really enjoy the way the course is structured entirely around these discussion posts, and it feels very open and creative. And ultimately, this class is going to be the most creative course I have ever taken, and also seems to be the most relaxed. So relaxed in fact, that I felt the need to include a picture of my all time favorite spacecraft.

For the assignments, storytelling seems like it will be interesting, but difficult; I'm not the best storyteller. As far as extra credit goes, I find the idea of Wikipedia trails to be really neat. Its always fun to find new things on a wandering trail of thought like that.

    Coffee in hand is definitely the best way to do coursework, something we do not have the privilege of doing during all our working hours in the REPF or in your case out at the North Campus lab. I believe that I have overheard that you are part of a D&D group, the best way I have personally found to do the storytelling assignments is to act like I am writing a D&D campaign, and just go from there. It gives the foundations of creating locales, people, motivations, and the benefit is the characters in the story act the way we want them to, not the way some other person wants to act.

Introduction to the Rocket Scientist

As the title says, I am an aspiring rocket scientist. More precisely, I am Aerospace Engineering student. And that little descriptor about sums up my favorite things. I am in my final semester of college and absolutely cannot wait to graduate. I am more than ready to get into the work force and start building the future. To prepare for this future, I have done a lot of stuff in my college career. This includes, but is not limited to, building rockets, robots, and cleaning up asbestos. Don't worry, I'll explain more in a minute. Starting from the easiest thing on that list; robots. I am the vice-president of the Sooner Competitive Robotics here at OU. This means I get to be a technical adviser for each of the robotics teams and make that they have everything they need to succeed. I also get to help them when they mess up their robots, and cant get them to work right. Robots are great, but coding really kind of sucks, which is why I prefer to stick with my rockets an

Week 2 Story: The Alpaca and the Beasts

Image
In days long past, there was a great and prosperous kingdom suddenly ravaged by drought and hardship. The once green fields had turned brown, and beasts prowled the countryside. Farmers fled from their herds, leaving for the safety of the keeps. For the beasts, oxen were tough to hunt, as they banded together in large groups for protection. A lone beast watched the largest herd and had a great idea, he would have the oxen voluntarily come with him alone. "Friends!" Exclaimed the beast as he boldly approached the herd. "Why are you staying here where the grass has died? There lies a lush meadow on the far side of the forest." "Come no further beast. We know of your kinds hunger." Proclaimed the largest of the bulls. "And why would we go through that forest; it holds the den of your brothers." "I have no hunger for oxen, your meat is too tough. I think only of your well being. As for my brothers, I know a path upon which they wont
