Despite rockets initially being developed for use of warfare, its technology would inspire humanity to pursue rocketry as a hobby. Calgarian Bryan Hill, a passionate rocketry hobbyist from the Calgary Rocketry Club shares with us how he got involved, the history of the club, how model rockets work, and how they have the same foundational principals of space rockets. In this episode we explore how Calgarians can safely get involved with model rocketry.

Fulfilling one’s childhood dream is a rare and powerful gift—one that can inspire self confidence and motivation in one's life. For Chris Herd, that dream took shape early on as his love for rocks transformed into a love for meteorite rocks. In What’s Up With Rocks, the University of Alberta professor shares with us his fascination with meteorites—how they differ from ordinary rocks, why his research matters, and what Albertans should do if they ever stumble upon one.
