Swiss students made history with Europe's first rocket hop test, but a slice of Gruyère almost turned it into a disaster.

      They’re just doing debug Q&A on the rocket. Next time they’re going to fill it with -1 gallons of fuel and see how far it goes.

      Maybe a good thing in a weird way, at least in testing? Helps you plan for the unexpected
