I saw this and found it interesting. As a CS guy and software engineer, I've always wanted to combine that knowledge with actual physical engineering (i.e. mechanical and electrical) in order to build cool stuff and complete my knowledge base as an engineer.

I've always seen his videos and wanted to be able to prototype and engineer actual physical things like him, rather than spending my whole life building software (although software pays the bills - nothing wrong with that). I wonder how far the course would actually be able to take me - it would be interesting to see.

The course seems a bit high priced and I don't have time at the moment, but I'll definitely keep my eye on it and wait to see the reviews.

This guy sure gets a lot of milage out of his past employer. It's rare to hear him mentioned without NASA being mentioned in the same breath.

It definitely lends credibility; versus the introduction from the other comment - that this is the guy that glitter bombs package thieves on youtube - which makes me take this less seriously.
