Students Take Pictures From Space On $150 Budget
An anonymous reader writes "Two MIT students have successfully photographed the earth from space on a strikingly low budget of $148. Perhaps more significantly, they managed to accomplish this feat using components available off-the-shelf to the average layperson, opening the door for a new generation of amateur space enthusiasts. The pair plan to launch again soon and hope that their achievements will inspire teachers and students to pursue similar endeavors."
Wow damburger! Thanks for grounding us all in reality. It must be hard for you to read about these accomplishments from that easy chair in your parent's basement. Pop another beer and keep commenting. Thanks for all of the hard work. Tell us about one of your projects.
