The USC Rocket Propulsion Lab has taken it to a new level, literally and figuratively, with their spin on WE PLAY, WE LAY-UP TO FLIGHT ON.
For the aerospace layman, laying up is the process of compositing carbon fiber around a mandrel to form an airframe. After looking up several of those words, basically, these students are building rockets from scratch with the hope of launching one into space.
The lab's most recent rocket was appropriately named "Traveler."
