Re: NASA Langely/VCU Regional: Where do we stand?
401 had several highly successful mechanical tests Saturday and Sunday. We were almost finished with all our mechanical systems, then we weighed in at 141.5 lbs. So today was spent drilling/milling holes. Hopefully we can have everything back together tomorrow and get a bit of autonomous code working and some more driver practice.

"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe .... In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. "
