      The biggest thing I have found out is the huge amount of things you have to think about when designing things to go to space. Things like the fact everything needs to be radiation tolerant, and deal with massive swings in temperature. Plus the rocket ride up to space vibrates so much it can easily break the thing it is taking up to space, so we have to design it to deal with that.
