Every team member inspires me to be a better person everyday, and I can't wait to see the wonderful things that we all together can achieve!

At Team Tumbleweed we work on challenging design problems that require innovative and creative solutions. They inspire not only me, but a whole team of like-minded individuals, united in their passion for creating the next generation of space exploration.
