Thursday, 9 April – Huntsville, AL

Thursday was the Rocket Fair, where we finally had a chance to talk to the other teams about their projects and ideas. Many of the other teams had participated in the SL before, and were quick to give us advice and suggestions for next year.

Of course, the overt theme of the trip was building in the parking lot, so when the Rocket Fair group returned, they joined the rest of the team in building.
