Help me Become an Aerospace Engineer!

Help me achieve my dream of becoming a rocket scientist and studying in the USA!

I grew up in Argentina, far away from where rockets and spaceship are built. However, ever since I have memory, I have been fascinated by space and human-space travel! I spent my childhood dreaming about the possibility of working at NASA, helping to build the new space shuttle or rockets that will help place humans back on the Moon and Mars. After years of arduous work and effort, I have finally been accepted to several top 10 universities in the United States, to carry out my Master's in Aerospace Engineering! I am proud of my achievements and eager to lift off in my upcoming career. However, I still need the funds to pay for tuition...

On average, a Master's program in the USA costs USD 50.000 a year. This number contemplates both tuition and living expenses and, to achieve this huge sum, I need your help.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will help me cover the costs of my upcoming graduate education, which I currently can't afford. Money problems aside, I believe that once I graduate from this program, I will be able to start making significant advances in the aerospace field, some of which will ideally be related to human space exploration such as sending human beings to the Moon and beyond!

Moreover, I wish to repay the help that is being provided to me here by sharing my experience with you (soon) as I strive to make our civilization a more space-oriented one. I will document my upcoming journey in the USA on social media and will answer your every question related to space exploration, rocket science and space in general. If you think this is a good deal, keep reading...

Please help me by donating $1, $2, $5, $100 or as much as you see fit. Give me a hand to start making my lifelong dream of becoming a rocket scientist a reality!

Thank you in advance for your support and kindness,

Rodrigo García Abal

My first visit to MIT. This is when I knew I should study in the US.

First time seeing the Space Shuttle Enterprise! Surely I want to dedicate my life to building this kind of spacecraft.
