Go you!
>>I must admit there's one upcycle project I would love to try... I keep watching the webcams from SpaceX Boca chica starbase, and they have all these scrapped prototype rockets...

Quite a common concept in some SF settings. "Well, she's been a great house, but I don't know if she'll fly."

Well, that depends. If the "scrap heap" is actually a record of failures that they study or a trove of resources that they raid, probably not. But if it's literally just junk they pushed aside so they don't have to pay to haul it away, they might be thrilled by an offer. If you approach them with the idea, point out what interesting publicity it could make for their project. That might appeal if they're trying to get backers.
