This is outstanding work for a University. I'm impressed and curious to see how their rocket evolves.

Off topic: Not to start a fight with anyone....

I've seen many clips similiar to this and I still can not understand why some people think the earth is flat.

Waterloo is our Caltech / MIT / IIT in terms of STEM major prestige, it’s crazy competitive to get in. This is the work of some of our brightest students!

Their student team facilities are some of the best in the world as well.
