A field manual for scaling
extreme ambition without structural
failure. Know your limits before they melt.

AOA (ANGLE OF ATTACK) AGRESSIVE
DRAG COEF 0.038
02 / THERMAL LOAD WARNING

Proximity to the Sun

Tracking the psychic and physical cost of high-stakes environments. You can touch the sun, but you cannot live there. Map your burnout threshold.
