Akronauts film shares message of teamwork
The University of Akron’s (UA) rocket team, the Akronauts, has a big goal for the next two years — launch a rocket to outer space, past the Kármán line where Earth ends and space begins.
In March, more than 20 members of the 100-plus member team road tripped to the Mojave Desert to test their Emergence II rocket. Footage from their epic journey was used to produce a short documentary of their experience.
