That's cool as hell, he needs to patent that, it may come in handy.

I liked the latest comment. So true.

"If Nasa did this it would have cost 100 million dollars and required a team of technicians to maintain.

Here we've got two guys with a case of beer and a couple of snapon wrenches that built it for $523 including the beer.

I agree with jlseagull42 turn over research and development to Burt Rutan and the Rednecks!"
