good interview, I’d love to see more stuff like this, interviews with adult LEGO fans with interesting careers and how LEGO influenced their professional development. I didn’t really connect the 2 myself but I think it’s had a huge influence on my career path.

Cool story. I also went to Rose-Hulman, majored in civil engineering, class of 2006.

Thanks for your interest, taking the time to conduct the interview, and posting the excellent resulting article. It was a lot of fun sharing my experiences and I hope it encourages others to get excited about the fields of science, exploration, and engineering.

Great interview about wonderful subject matter. Thanks for the great MOC Stephen, and for your work on the MSL. My whole family stayed up late on Sunday to watch the landing, and we’re looking forward to continuing to see amazing new science and photos from Curiosity. I hope work like this can help pave the way for a permanent human presence on other worlds.

Fist Lego League? Sounds violent. Excellent interview, and congrats on the successful landing, Perijove!

This makes me wonder how many NASA employees are in fact AFOLs. It seems the hobby understands well with science.
