Building a Rocket out of Carbon Fiber: Transcendence Testing

We have just started to build the Structure system for Transcendence. Transcendence is the rocket we are building to go to space!! In order to prepare for the first round of testing on the structure system (the pressure test) we need to learn how to work with Carbon Fiber. Hopefully you will be able to learn along with us.
