Then you can attach this 15K MAH battery.

Alan Shepard wasn't really the first American in space...NASA just never mentioned Larry Wilhelm and Bob McFarley, the real first Americans that landed, oddly enough, somewhere near Divide and were never heard from again (and are now presumed to be living quietly on a farm out of the media's prying eyes...)

Thought that was quite high. I know the handwarmers were in there, but maybe if you don't think you need that much heat, you could lower the payload with fewer warmers.....

They're the only suggestions I can think of!

Really excited about the next launch, perhaps we could get TWiT to stream it live? That would be awesome. I'll send out some emails.

Once again, well done guys, fingers remain crossed for the recovery effort!
Lets just hope some one didn't find it and think 'ooo free phone!', mind you if they did I'm sure the Astdroid app would let you know.
