    thats awesome!
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

          Nasa's pictures are just slightly better, though.

                Amazing that it worked, but I love the drive and determination of the 2 (eventually 3) guys who made this all work. No one took it serious, but these guys went out and accomplished what they set out to do. Very cool and inspiring.

                  To lazy to read. How far away did this thing land from the takeoff point? Does it say how they retrieved it?

                    Ya lazy bastard.

                    Landed 25 miles from launch. It had a cell phone GPS on it so they knew where it was to retrieve it.

                      It landed about 25 miles away.

                        Fun story. Good to read some of these every once in awhile instead of the "2 kids killed over videogame rivalry!"
