Payton Knight

I am a young creative mind who wishes to learn all the ins-and-outs of mechanical engineering as well as manufacturing. I have been interested in space since I was very young through exposure to the franchise Star Wars and combined with my interest in manufacturing and mechanical as well as electrical engineering through my 3 years in a school Robotics Program (FRC 4911 CyberKnights), I've become completely interested and devoted to working in the space industry and hope to be able to work on top-of-the-line rockets, satellites and shuttles in the future.

Beyond that, I also have a dream to learn how to pilot aircraft. I was originally going to do fulfill this dream by entering the Air Force but after procuring a peanut allergy, my dream was hit by a harsh roadblock. But I still intend to become a pilot through flight school after I complete my undergraduates and in addition; I've been working on myself through extensive weight training and physical activity so that I might be able to qualify for becoming an Astronaut someday.
