NASA Internship
After 18 years of interest, and about 5 years of attempting, I have finally accomplished one of my life goals. This summer I will be working for NASA as an intern on a UAV (Unmanned Ariel Vehicle) project. Essentially, there is a big remote controlled airplane that I will be working on in order to get it ready to fly itself using artificial intelligence.
Awesome right? Everything I'm interested in rolled up into one tidy package: aerospace, robots, and artificial intelligence. The project is kind of like a precursor to EDDY in the movie Stealth, but I highly doubt it will go crazy and try and firebomb anything. I'm not even certain it will fly this summer. To be honest, I don't know a whole lot about the project right now.
Anyway, It just goes to show that dreams can be accomplished.
