The main part of the Steam Punk aesthetic has nothing to do with the steam part. It's the rich Victorian Aesthetic with the birth of crude machine tools (gears, paddle-boats, etc) that marked the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

That said, most of the "true" engineers I've met do have an appreciation for the complexity of modern machines, myself included.

Turbo Charger's are loving awesome!

steampunk is popular because nerds like girls in corsets and will dress all sorts of silly ways to hang out with them [see also: goths]

If girls wear corsets because of steam punk that is just another win for the genre imo.

real science is putting an led blinker into space.

A commercial launch would be more expensive, but we've secured some contingency funding to finance it in case none of the other launch options work out
pls give us 35k to make some 2 layer pcbs and buy some COTS parts. btw we already have 100k in funding DO NOT ASK US ABOUT THIS

quote:

The baseline model of the satellite uses Arduino Nanos, mounted on a custom PCB.
I bet .1" through hole headers would do p. well in a 25hz@140db rocket fairing

hmm it'd be worth $300 to broadcast 'eat poo poo aliens' in a loop for 24 hours if the signal wasn't terrible and the satellite didn't freeze and stop working 3 minutes after launch (it will)

you can do that now with existing operational ham radio satellites, a surplus police walkie-talkie and a few feet of wire to make an antenna

obviously dont do this, there are like 5 voice satellites in orbit at the moment and theyre all slammed to the wall busy 100% of the time
