I'd say it is a commendable project. We are actually using some of the exact same components (you can read our specs to find out) but the camera has always been a tricky concern for us. Their implementation for the camera (by soldering wires to the camera) was one of our considered option, but that would involve using the camera, so we're currently opting for some bus-hacking (undocumented). =D However, that project clearly violates several FAA and Transport Canada regulations in airworthiness and launch procedures should it be launched in the US or Canada. Those batteries look <b>very</b> dangerous too; I would not send those up there. Ah yes, I saw that earlier today. I’d say it is a commendable project.

GRRR. What an embarrassment I say. Apparently they did not know that the differences between a forward and a future is… in a course about financial derivative products. GRRR.
