Xyla and I will be auctioning off the ornaments flown on this tree(+posters and mission patches!) in a livestream in January of 2022. All of the proceeds from the auction will be given to the AFSP(American Foundation for Suicide Prevention): afsp.org
If you're struggling and need assistance, both of these will get you in contact with great people who can help. Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 to reach a volunteer Crisis Counselor

Thank you to all of our friends who travelled from far and wide to help us with this launch. Nobody accomplishes anything alone, and this only worked because of the help you all offered :)
Thanks as well to FAR (Friends of Amateur Rocketry) for being so accepting of our... unique rocket design: friendsofamateurrocketry.org
OTHER VIDEOS:
HEY so we made like 4 videos for this thing. You're watching one, and there are 3 others.
