Thumbs up

lol, great thread guys, had me in stitches...

They actually put a radio transmitter in the lil-guy - transmitting in FM, both voice and video (although I am not entirely sure about the later)...batteries lasted only a couple of days but apparently many ham ops around the world received the signal...sorry about being vague on the details, but there are some cool websites around with more info.

Hope they do it again soon - what a hoot for kiddies around the world to tune into something being transmitted from space, ala Sputnik...
