For those wondering why these guys are located in Michigan's upper peninsula. In the sixties NASA built a launch site on Lake Superior nearby. They wanted trained locals to man it. So the local mining school, Northern Michigan University, added a space tech curriculum. NASA left in the mid-seventies but the degree program continued although most students left Michigan after graduating. I find it encouraging if these guys succeed then students would have a chance to stay in state.
