MenuThe Figueroa Group along with some of our Fermilab Colleagues!
This was at our pig roast party to celebrate the successful launch of the Micro-X Rocket. The fabric above us is the actual parachute from the Micro-X rocket which brought it back safely to the surface after its jaunt 150 mile above.

This picture was taken in 2002, shortly after I finished my PhD. Been doing this a while now! When I'm not doing this, I like playing drums; theres nothing like hitting stuff with sticks to let go of some stress!
