ParticipantEqualizer: I love that song. I saw her in concert in the UK in 1984, on leave from the Army (I was stationed in Fulda, Germany, at the time).
Very cool concert, but she had that German chick hairy armpit thing going on. Never quite used to that with European women.
Okay, back to the regular scheduled programming featuring MIT students that are smarter than NASA (which none of us should find shocking in the slightest).

ParticipantI fail to see what this experiment has to do with NASA (which probably employs more MIT graduates than any other company or agency in this country).
[quote]Instead of rockets, boosters and expensive control systems[/quote]
If you don’t have rockets and boosters, you can only go straight up. And you can’t go too high up, because weather balloons can’t get much higher than 25 miles – they explode. If you want to put a space telescope with an 8 foot mirror into orbit and keep it there for 20 years, you have to do it the old-fashioned NASA way.
Neat experiment, don’t get me wrong, but prospects of doing the actual science that way are very limited.
