------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Philosophy:
*	Define an initial end goal but be flexible enough to take advantage of
	discoveries along the way and refine that goal as we approach it.
*	Data analysis should involve as much of the team as possible. The
	consensus of our results dictate where to go next and these decisions
	are best made as a team.
*	Be open source, as long as our shared goals support it, publish a lot
	and build our reputation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General goals:
*	Formalize roles during testing operations to increase safety and improve
	the integrity of the data that is collected.
*	Be more involved in finding funding. Regardless of whether that's applying
	for grants, looking of sponsorship, developing something to sell or just
	being more aware of opportunities as they present themselves.
*	Acquire the proficiency to be able to repeat what others have done, first. 
	Afterwards use our success to justify trying things that haven't been tried.
*	Assist in the completion of a (lab-ready) GOX/Paraffin Hybrid motor that 
	performs at least as well as predicted on paper.
*	Assist in the completion of a (lab-ready) LOX/Paraffin Hybrid motor that 
	performs at least as well as predicted on paper.

	Note: "Lab-ready", not to be confused with "lab-scale", means that it should
	not require all flight ready gear. The lab-ready results will potentially
	dictate our flight-ready version's component requirements.

*	Assist in the completion of a (flight-ready) LOX/Paraffin Hybrid motor that 
	performs at least as well as predicted on paper and meets the needs of our
	launch vehicle (e.g. guidance features, thrust profile, etc.)


	Note: This could simply be the lab-ready LOX/Paraffin motor with retrofitting.
	"Flight-ready" means that all the components must be within the physical/functional
	constraints of our intended flight vehicle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technical goals:
*	Solve the "paraffin strength" problem.
*	Solve the "inconsistent grain erosion" problem.
*	Improve grain manufacture time and quality.
*	Improve motor reload time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personal goals:
*	Be part of a team that does something that has not been done before. I 	cannot 
	think of anything that would be more fulfilling.
*	Keep a promise I made to myself a long time ago.
