OpenRocket

I read the name and the first logical thought that came to mind was that of a platform to have AI agents iterating on rockets design. How doomed am I?

I helped out with a user interface redesign of OR many years ago. It was pretty incredibly unintuitive back then, and many hobby rocketeers paid for Rocksim instead.

This is pretty cool. I remember having fun simulating my rockets using the BASIC programs from G. Harry Stine's "Handbook of Model Rocketry" when I was a kid. This looks like a way to recreate some of that fun.

Well THAT's cool. I was just talking about getting back into model rocketry... I'm not sure my 6yo daughter will like it as much as I did/do but I want to get back into it and launch a few and see if she's into it. Timing here is great as I need to start looking at starting from scratch with kits etc.

With the current wars this will only gain more interest.

I wonder how crazy the scale here can get. How far can I go? The bps.space guy is heading into space. Can the community hit the moon? Literally.

The miracle of 3D printing. First ghost guns, and now ghost rockets. Will be curious to see what prediction markets will have for these.

I hope this is for students' project and for sending a gopro to the stratosphere?

Is there a similar drone design simulator?

Oh i've been looking for a project for my 11 year old... he's a very project oriented learner, which schools don't seem to do anymore.

Bookmarked :)
