Yes, it’s a super cool project! Some of my professors work on Cubesat. It’s impressive how far they’ve gotten with slow and steady incremental progress over the years.

@kyle - I'm saddened with hearing the news this morning of the shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival last Sunday.

I hope all of the gang as well as their families are all safe. Stay safe!
