Space Access 2009 - Scott Zeeb and Todd Squires - TrueZer0

Scott and Todd, of TrueZer0, had trouble getting their computer to work with the projector.

The gave their presentation without slides. They got started with rockets about a year ago. They competed in the Lunar Lander challenge. Scott said it was an interesting contrast when Armadillo showed up. Armadillo had a lot more stuff. Scott was very appreciative when Armadillo came over and introduced themselves and treated them well.

Todd talked about when they were getting ready to do the challenge. They had a problem with power for the radios. They didn't have anything redundant. He had an inventor, the plug into the rental truck was hot, he pulled it out, and put it back in and was finally able to get power.

They learned a number of things. Watching the X-Prize video helped them realized just how long it took, cause at the time it didn't seem like a long time.

Scott and Todd really enjoyed being accepted into the private space community.

They've thought about what they want to do next. They decided they would like to go for level 2, which has a lot more money. They are self funded.
