Obama's new science education initiative features Blimpduino!
From the release:
"President Obama has launched an “Educate to Innovate” campaign to improve the participation and performance of America’s students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This campaign will include efforts not only from the Federal Government but also from leading companies, foundations, non-profits, and science and engineering societies to work with young people across America to excel in science and math. As part of the campaign, this Administration hopes to do a series of events, announcements and other activities that build upon the President’s “call to action” and address the key components of national priority. "
Here is the transcript of the President's remarks.

Very cool. President Obama also awarded Rudolph E. Kalman with the National Medal of Sciences on 7 October 2009 for his achievements.

Blimpduino is an ideal combination of features and cost for entry-level exploration of autonomous flight, so congratulations are due to Chris and Jordi for this recognition. However, I suspect Chris will have to hire more kids and buy more kitchen tables to handle the production requirements for the likely increase in demand.

Actually, we breed our labor force, not hire them. We're at five so far, so hoping that's enough!

Varga: I know, he should be a national hero, even if he studied in the US, he is still Hungarian.

Unless the science initiative gets the same kind of money that banks & SUV makers got, most anyone would rather be the next Rick Waggoner or Ken Lewis than the next Charly Bolden.
