Student Spotlight: Elijah Emory

November 6, 2023

For senior Astronautical Engineering major Elijah Emory, learning about space came as naturally as learning how to walk. As a child, he reveled in watching the skies and soaking up the wonder of the cosmos, dreaming of ways to get closer to the edge of the universe. He was especially fascinated by the engineering marvels that allowed humans to interact with space in ways never thought possible. He vividly recalls watching the final shuttle launch while he was in elementary school, then the New Horizons flyby of Pluto and the first manned Falcon 9 launch in high school.
