He sounds like his bullsh1t is well rehearsed. I'll bet he's had to learn that to avoid a black eye on a few occasions. If Tom's is willing to go to these lengths to find this guy just for an article, I would think it isn't a challenge to find him when you're pissed and out $2000. I'm surprised Michael didn't have a bodyguard.
I would imagine the lack of directional control would make this unit perform very generic atmospheric readings/mapping whatever. What does that solve that an orbiter and beagle type unit combo couldn't?
