Nevertheless, I am so, so, so impressed by what you've done here. You've proved that this is not just something for people who have a lot of money, or multi-billion dollar corporations, like NASA. On a $150 budget, anyone can be an astronaut. You guys are inspiring! Thanks! So, I follow astronomy a little–mostly anything that comes into the science section of the New York Times every Tuesday.

I used to be a model rocket enthusiast and I believe your idea of attaching a rocket will work with a solid (Estes Type) ("D") motor maybe a two stage --- I used to have a lot of fun with these --- good luck and would love to hear how it turns out for you...

The entire lot of you are amazing not only with your creativity, but your "chutzpah", your "dude tudes". I wish I was your age again, you really know how to be young and enjoy it. Don't get too crazy, but then again, don't get too sane, either. ;-) - Bill Shroyer, 37, Pittsburgh, PA Sorry for the name, I’m just kidding really – I love what you’ve done, and I hope to see you do more in the future.

It’ll cost less than a cemetery plot and operating cost will be low. This time, we will want to launch near the coast because we don’t want any ashes if any to fall over the city but over the Atlantic ocean. I dont foresee needing more than two pounds of ashes so we’ll be under FAA limits. What do you say guys? BTW, I got other ideas about an reusable launch vehicle.

All of us at Boost Mobile are very impressed with what you've done with one of our iDEN handsets. We weren't surprised that it was able to make it up into the stratosphere and back down intact as our Motorola phones are the best in the industry! Keep up the great work and here's another article on your project that was published today in the Orange County Register (California): http://gadgetress.freedomblogging.com/2009/09/16/boost-mobile-phone-soars-175-miles-high-to-edge-of-space/21547/ Buddy Jacob Research Manager Boost Mobile Irvine, CA buddy.jacob@boostmobile.com Great job guys!
