Glad you asked! "Things" are moving along well enough, much of the
equipment has been chosen, yet needs to be integrated. Flight 1 will be
tethered to shake down the payload, flight two will be a short,
relatively low altitude flight. At flight 3, the payload form factor
will be changed. Beyond that, the flights will build on the success or
problems encountered during previous flights.
That's all the words you get.
There will be web pages devoted to the project. At that time you can
read and ridicule, but you'll have to go to the website to get yer
material.
Why dontcha ask Len how that "Extra right out of the box" is coming
along. How many years down the road has that been now?
