We are an engineering student design team at the University of British Columbia dedicated to the design, manufacture, and launch of suborbital rockets.
At <a href="http://spaceportamericacup.com/" target="blank">Spaceport America Cup</a> 2017, we <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/ubc-rocket-team-competition-win-1.4183515" target="blank"> won</a> in the 10,000 feet Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) category our Cypress rocket.
In 2019 we placed third at Spaceport America 2019 with Sky-Pilot in the 30,000 feet COTS category. We most recently launched our Silvertip rocket at IREC 2022, as well as our first ever two stage solid motor rocket, Tantulus, at the inaugural Launch Canada competition in 2022. Our eventual goal is to send a rocket to the edge of space - about 300,000 feet up!
Earlier in 2021, our Whistler Blackcomb project was awarded third place in the Base11 Phase II Challenge, the Critical Design Report. We are making steady progress with the development of Whistler-Blackcomb, recently having hotfired our liquid fueled engine for a 5 second burn! Footage will be posted soon on our social media and YouTube.

either remove the "was" or remove the redundant comma so that it becomes "rocket was" - my suggestion is leave this as it is

<p class="text-muted">"Rocket’s motto is a question: “What could go wrong?” Answer: A lot. So they’ll commit an average of 10‑15 hours per week through the year, and 20‑30 in the weeks leading up to competitions. They’ll design, build, test, and rebuild. They’ll manage projects and people, promote the club, engage with sponsors, advocate to Ottawa, and fundraise. </p>
