The DHS Aerospace Design Team has returned from its mission victorious. The team of 12 attended the International Space Settlement Design Comp last week at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center.

DHS’ “company” included teams from China, Romania, India and Seattle. “We worked on a proposal for a space settlement on Venus called ‘Asimov’ for about 41 hours,” team member Ali Hall (junior) said.
When the space dust settled, the DHS team won first place in the competition as well as winning many individual awards. Joe Lawton (junior) won a leadership award; Abby Scott (junior) won the award for best female presenter; and Daniel Sandner (senior) won best male presenter

It’s a mash-up made in Westernwear heaven. Sort of. Seems Chaco, the purveyor of the iconic strappy dirtbag river rat footwear, has joined forces with Wrangler, as in tight jeans, big belt buckles, bull riding and snap shirt fame.
