Space isn't just for big governments and multi-billion dollar corporations like NASA or SPACEX! You can also join in now, too! In this week's Space Friday, Trace shows us some of the most exciting homegrown space programs out there!

We're sending a TARDIS into space!

How will we do it?

The first step is building the TARDIS, and that's already been done. We based our construction on the specs from the original show, and used a piece of official Doctor Who merch as a template, even cannibalizing some of the components so we didn't have to make every single piece from scratch. We used light-weight materials to ensure that our finished satellite would be as easy as possible to get into space.

The second step is putting this blue box into space. That's the tricky part, and we're going to leave that to the Rocket scientists... literally. We're basically just buying a ticket for our satellite to ride into space. All we have to do is raise the money to pay for our ticket as it were.

That's it. As crazy as it sounds, it's a pretty simply project, really. The TARDIS satellite is finished and ready to fly. Now, we just need your help to make it happen.


Attention wannabe supervillains: Putting your own, personal satellite into orbit is not such a far-fetched idea after all. Interorbital Systems, which makes rockets and spacecraft, created a kit last year that lets almost anyone with a passion for electronics and space build a satellite."
