I don't know if I have ever drank $150 worth of beer, but this project was still pretty cheap.

I've drank $150 worth of beer, but not when I was 18 miles high.
I wonder what an average internal combustion engine would look like from so unimaginably far away...almost nothing, I guess.

Heh... perhaps Abachler is not from a big city? Depending on your draft of choice, $150 worth of beer in NYC can be a pretty average drinking night. This just goes to show you where the drive to accomplish goes when the government offers you basically as much money as you want to do whatever it is that they don't understand. How many top NASA guys are ex-MIT, anyway?

Every project will expand to fit the available budget.
If you have a lot of money you can do something wonderful or wasteful, if you have next to nothing you can do something wonderful or just lie more vigorously than usual.
And no, I don't go drinking at bars for teh most part, unless they have a good pool table, then my limit is 2 (rum and cokes). An expensive bar around here is like $5 a beer, so 30 beers and I'd be trashed. Since I'm usually the designated driver that wouldn't be a good deal.

DRAFT?? BARS?? NIGHT?? It comes in 24 oz cans, by god. I mean thank.
Squeezing your eyes shut may help, but if you are actually driving the vehicle with the I.C.E. then you run the risk of falling prey to certain obvious and apocalytic denials.

This one's totally gorgeous if you dig crisp sepia-tone shots of steam engines. Miracles of horsepower and ingenuity. Mostly lower atmosphere, < 1 mile.

My LAN parties usually involve less beer and more weed, and usually an RTS like SupCom. Different strokes for different folks.

I'm getting a couple of friends together and we are going to try the same little project that these MIT guys did. I read this story on slashdot a few days ago, and it intrigued me.
It's gonna be sweet!
