Did we get a video camera there to record everything? Because THAT would make a good commercial.

Thomas Jefferson High School...I wanna see what that satellite looked like. If it wasn't made out of old, discarded McDonald's Big Mac boxes...I will be so disappointed.

I don't think so. He graduated in 2010. They were just starting CAPE-2 when he graduated.
