搞军工也要考西工大。
此后在TRW工作15年，主持60吨级氢氧火箭发动机的开发。 不满工作中意见不被采纳，
自己在车库里造液体火箭。直到他被ELON MUSK发现，拜为spaceX总师，开发Merlin火

Mueller was born in St. Maries, Idaho.[4] His father was a logger and wanted
Mueller to be one as well.[5] Mueller compares his story to that of Homer
Hickam, growing up in a hard-working family and going off to be an engineer
instead of following in his father's footsteps.[4] As a kid, he would build
and fly Estes model rockets. He continued to experiment with rockets, even
building one out of his father's oxy-acetylene welder and discovering adding
water would produce more thrust.[4]
Mueller eventually became a logger, working four summers to pay his way
through school. He attended the University of Idaho where he earned a
bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.[5] He moved to California upon
graduating, turning down job offers in Idaho and Oregon.[4] He attended a
job fair upon his arrival in California and began working in satellite
design and moved on to developing liquid rocket engines.[5] Mueller went on
to attend Loyola Marymount University where he obtained his master's degree
in Mechanical Engineering in 1992 from the Frank R. Seaver College of
Science and Engineering.[6]
For 15 years, Mueller worked for TRW Inc., a conglomerate corporation
involved in aerospace, automotive, credit reporting, and electronics. He
managed the propulsion and combustion products department where he was
responsible for liquid rocket engine development.[1] He worked as a lead
engineer during the development of the TR-106, a 650,000 lbf (2,900 kN)
thrust hydrogen engine that was one of the most powerful engines ever at the
time it was constructed. During his time at TRW, Mueller felt that his
ideas were being lost in a diverse corporation and as a hobby he began to
build his own engines. He would attach them to airframes and launch them in
the Mojave Desert along with other members of the Reaction Research Society.
In late 2001, Mueller began developing a liquid-fueled rocket engine in his
garage and later moved his project to a friend's warehouse in 2002.[1] His
design was the largest amateur liquid-fuel rocket engine, weighing 80 lb (36
kg) and producing 13,000 lbf (58 kN) of thrust.[1] His work caught the
attention of Elon Musk, PayPal co-founder and CEO of Tesla Motors, and in
2002 Mueller joined Musk as a founding employee of SpaceX.[2] | m**c
