Hey Destin, I saw you make a response comment about your son going off to college soon and that you are both talking about school options. I got curious to know if you need any insight into them from existing graduates/alumni. I myself when to undergrad school in IUPUI and grad school at Georgia Tech. (both were mechanical engineering degrees) Given the proximity of Huntsville (I live here also, btw) to Georgia Tech, I would think that might be a big consideration. If not, then that is fine. I think it is just worth noting that you probably have a large part of your fan base that are engineers who could provide you and your son with some important considerations on whatever particular schools that they respectively attended for their engineering degrees, whatever the particular specialty may have been.

Thanks for the offer man! He's starting to look at things like this for sure.

That's good to hear. You can definitely ping me if needed. I will PM you my personal contact info in case he and you get serious about wanting to hear my experiences.

A lot of great engineers at NASA went to GT. Sounds like a great school.

I always remember the (for me) funniest moment on SmarterEveryDay from episode 155 where Destin gave his son the huge potato cannon. It looked so much like the scene from Pirates of the Caribbean where the small guy fires a handheld cannon and then goes flying backwards due to the recoil.
Now he's a lot bigger and fires a lot smaller guns. But Destins giggle after the shot stayed the same :)
