Two NASA engineers grew up on ranches.
Nobody told them the fence they were fixing was structural engineering. Nobody told them the irrigation system they were running was fluid dynamics. Nobody connected the hydraulics on the tractor to the fuel systems on a rocket engine.
They figured it out eventually, but it took leaving the ranch to learn what the ranch had already taught them.
The Field Manual is the book they didn't have.
Seven chapters. Seven ranch tasks. Seven aerospace disciplines. Twenty-one outdoor experiments. All of them outside, all of them with materials you already have, all of them connected directly to real work done at NASA.
For kids ages 6–14. For fathers who want their kids to know the ranch was always training them for something bigger.
Pre-order your copy. Ships Q4 2026.
Includes a free Engineering Log PDF delivered immediately at checkout, your child's first piece of real engineering equipment.
