Probably the most ingenious backyard experiment I've ever seen.

They've even got a website and for anyone interested in the knowhow they might come out with a DIY book. http://www.brooklynspaceprogram.org/BSP/Home.html

In case they don't NASA too has something on the subject,

A great project for the kids

Absolutely awesome

Great find MCL. Thanks for sharing. To think of all the money the government gives to NASA and they did this on a low budget!!

Pleasure BB!

I too thought it was utterly awesome. No idea why he used an Iphone though. Surely there must have been cheaper and better trackers.

I dnt knw much about NASA but under the current administration they seem to be moving away from space exploration, to a more agenda based initiatives, like education, outreach programs, stuff like that. Although just a few days back they discovered water on the moon, lot's of it..So that just might be the spark they were waiting for.

Well if they don't educate future generations, there won't be anyone to work at NASA.
