Dusk of the Final Day

October 12, 2023

It's the final count down folks! Once again, we appreciate all the support we've received this month for CERMIT: the first propulsive lander at UT Austin!!! If you're reading this I hope you have an amazing day that blasts off into the stratosphere! We hope you get inspiration from our original concept drawing for your future endeavors!

Until next time!

Fourth Quarter: Are we Peyton or Brady?

October 09, 2023

It's the fourth quarter and we increased our donations by 1000% since our first week! If we keep that rate up we'll accomplish our donation goal with ease! Thank you to those who donated, showed their support and spread the word of the work we're doing here at TL&L! With these donations we're able to complete our test stand so we can attempt the first milestone by May 2024!

This peculiar shaped piece is critical to our first engine prototype! We wouldn't be at this point without everyone's support!

Until next time!

2 Weeks Left!

October 01, 2023

Howdy everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and contributed to spreading the word about our project! We added two new members to the team last week and here we are working on our future test stand! What started as a rusty old trailer will blossom into a fiery hot-fire with rocket explosions!!!

Here's to a strong fourth quarter! Please continue to spread the word and also if you're reading this, thank you for reading this!
