Galileoscope Update: Galileoscope Orders
Kris, Galileoscope would indeed be the best solution, but it will be available too late, most likely no earlier than mid May or so, for my friend's project (school term ends in early June). Instead, she will probably have a local company build cus...

The composite is hysterical. I love the person sticking their head out of the cockpit. and the renamed shuttle. Nice work.
Well, I know I have sat down with you at some meeting, but I can't recall where at the moment. If not, nice to meet you.
