Ivett and I went to Purdue University to visit Prof. William Anderson, a renowned rocket scientist at Purdue's Zucrow Laboratories, which is the nation's largest university propulsion laboratory. Prof. Anderson is experimenting with a new hydrogen facility to help NASA improve the cooling efficiency and performance of the J-2X rocket engine. The J-2X engine is a critical piece of hardware for future missions to Mars and the moon. Here is a picture of Prof. Anderson showing me one of his research facilities. Colin, I must say that researchers are doing a great job paving the way for future space exploration. It's going to be up to you and your generation to pick up their work and create a future where human civilization extends beyond the earth. Study hard, my friend! I can't wait for my great grandson Flat Stanley the Vth to tell us about his trip to Mars!
